15.01.2022 The hidden job market is actually a myth. However, loads of jobs live in a kind of ‘gated’ market. They get filled by someone ‘in the know’ by ‘word of mouth’ or being in the right place at the right time.

07.01.2022 It feels like everyone is ready for a break doesn't it? The end of the working year is in sight! Taking a break can actually be really for our focus and motivation. Singing in a choir as a teenager, the frustrated choir leader told us he was going to park a song we were struggling with for a few weeks.
