Can everyone please cheer up

December 19, 2011 by Tracey Dunn

 

I’m on on of my rants again I’m afraid.

OK so the euro zone is in chaos, the economy isn’t great and it looks as though we will have a few tough years before things get better.  But do you know what?  That’s life.

However as a PR company I like to think we have a slightly different take on it – although we know how to how to use these tools in the recruitment process, our focus is more on using social media to promote the recruiter’s brand and [...]
