If you’re a candidate going for an interview or are you taking time to overcome any objections during the process as well as managing net steps...

December has come

After applying for a new passport this week it gave me a chance to have a few weeks off travelling and focus in the office. It’s amazing how much more you can get done in one spot.

Here’s a few of the common things that recruiters and hiring managers may question on CV’s and might mean a candidate misses the grade. What do you think?

Language requirements are a funny thing in recruitment. Some times set in stone, sometimes not and sometimes not clear internally. Listen to my latest show and have your say at anchor.fm/davidlawrence

I called someone today looking for a new role and was surprised by their voicemail message. Your message can say a lot about you..

Things can tend to slow down in the next month in the recruitment world but a lot depends on your sector and there is still plenty of things going on out there so keep the activity high!

I heard this week candidates being put forward after just having an email conversation with recruiters. Can you really qualify and represent candidates by email alone? Let me know what you think.

Before I headed off to Norway today I was thinking about the market and the opportunities we have right now. It’s what gets me up each day, so much opportunity!

Often when I tell people my schedule they can say, I’m sorry for you, that doesn’t sound great but I remind them it’s my choice. Remember you have a choice, how you spend your time and make your success is up to you.
