As it’s Friday, we thought it would be a nice way to end the week by sharing some interview answers that are from the very top drawer. We all get a bit nervous when interviewing, but some of the things that people come out with are…honest to say the least, but maybe not the best

CV mistakes – some very funny things candidates have written
We all see a lot of CV’s and recently we have posted what we think is the best and possibly worse CV’s that we’ve ever seen (see previous blogs). We thought we would take a moment out to have a look at some things that candidates have written on their CV’s, some of which I

Worst CV ever…?
We started the week with a look at a great CV, so we thought that we would end it by showing you a…unique CV! It is fair to say it is eye-catching and gets your attention, but we will leave it up to you to decide if it is a winner or not… http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1325379/original.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/09/03/my-little-pony-resume-cv_n_3859818.html&h=776&w=600&sz=123&tbnid=K3VH6Rm2k3vnUM:&tbnh=91&tbnw=70&zoom=1&usg=__C9nhP1O9QtTg78at_iTUBLl0y9s=&docid=FmV8MfME1b5N7M&sa=X&ei=w2lzUsfpCeGx0AX5lIGICw&ved=0CDQQ9QEwAQ
Best and worst jobs in the UK!
Working in recruitment, it’s always interesting to hear about good jobs and also, the bad ones. The nosey part of us likes to measure ourselves and see what fortune/misfortune others have, what they earn and wonder whether we could do that.

There are lots of reasons to stay in your current position, you’re comfortable there, you get paid enough to cover the bills,
