Here’s a good job application sample. In your Job application, please remember to say what you can do and not what you can’t. It might sound daft but really, the British can be shockingly bad at self-promotion, and, what is a job application, if not self-promotion? Claim and rename those skills: Own them, for they […]
Before filling in any job application I believe that you need to know why you are applying in the first place. If you are not wholly congruent, then, at some level the recipient will ‘get’ that!

The chances are that if you are taking a job satisfaction survey then you are probably not as satisfied at work as you wish. Either someone else has asked you to do it, in which case that is about their satisfaction with your work, or, you are so bored and disconnected at work then you can […]
I don’t want anyone else’s job satisfaction definition! I want SO much more than that!
