I have attended two recruitment in social media events recently and although I thought I was fairly social media savvy – I definitely learned some interesting new stuff showing that you can indeed teach an old dog new tricks! The first was the UK Recruiter and HB RIDA Directors’ Networking Event. The first presentation [...]
Continue Reading →I had the pleasure of being one of the guests at Jobsite’s Fresh Thinking event on Wednesday. I wasn’t sure what to expect. I see myself as fairly social media savvy and so wasn’t sure that I would learn anything new. What I forgot was that sometimes you may not learn anything new – but you [...]

The internet is a wonderful thing. Online shopping has enabled me to so far buy all of my Christmas presents without physically visiting a single shop, and thanks to Facebook I know that my friend in America is having a baby and has put up her Christmas tree.
