The recruitment industry gathered under a silk cloth of glamour last night as the Auckland War Memorial played host to the 17th annual Seek Awards. A night fraught with winners, losers, jeers, and cheers. Other than the Pow Wows of old, it's the only time I get to observe all…

The departure of our beloved Tash from the Rice team has had an inevitable knock-on effect. Aside from having absolutely no one to talk about the inner workings of Casa Amor or any aspect of Love Island, there is a slightly more frequent problem. I and Sean are now locked…

It’s safe to say that my working demeanor has somewhat relaxed since entering the rec to rec arena. This probably speaks to my client base.
