Don’t Look Back in Anger

Sorry, It’s My First Day…

As recruiters, we are more than familiar with first days. Our BD call masquerading as a start check lets us share in a candidates Bambi like first steps. What I tend to tell people is that their first day will be unlike any other day you have, it’s usually fraught…

Extrovert! Extrovert! Read All About It!

Salary Cap

No, the industry isn’t going all NBA with an imposed salary cap. I’m using the patois of my peers, the cultural casual vernacular where ‘cap’ effectively means bullshit. Those of Sean’s age feel free to thank me for keeping you relevant. It’s time to bring to light some of the…

The best thing my ol man said he did with his money was enrolling me and my brother into Victoria College. An Educational institution steeped in tradition that taught us important lessons not just in the classroom but installing all students with a specific set of values; ‘manners maketh man’…

Big Brand Theory

It’s lucky for you, the reader, that these blogs are scheduled into my diary for every three weeks as my recent Internet fame has got me running about like a blue arse fly! Opening shopping centres, turning on Christmas lights, starring in panto! In reality, not so much BUT if…
