About Me
I must be mad to even attempting to write this blog on recruitment, particularly when I remember how I struggled to get my O’ Level in English plus my poor attempts to write recruitment ads! If it wasn’t for my ex boss whom I have the ultimate respect for, I am sure I wouldn’t have even attempted this. It is a shame he isn’t around to keep an eye on my posts and check the grammar.
The other point I have to make is thank god for the spell checker, without it I would take forever and a day to check each email, letter and blog entry. I suppose this is a sign of the times, as we all become more illiterate, although in my case I am sure I was just useless, but heh I survived.
As I now step seriously into this blog, I thought how would I appeal to fellow Recruitment Consultants, the answer came flooding in “don’t write a blog on recruitment!!”
That maybe a little harsh but in essence there is some truth, so I plan to have a mixed feel with some good helpful content mixed with as much light heartiness as possible, so if you want to take a blow or have a laugh I can take it, 20 years in this industry you become thick skinned.
So if you have something to say let me know serious or not as you know us Recruitment Consultants are a little quirky to say the least!!

Hello Stephen,
My name is Colleen, I work on behalf of Jobsite.co.uk and thought you might want to check out a new service we are launching called BeMyInterviewer.
BeMyinterviewer.co.uk is an interactive video based website that lets jobseekers practise for interviews with some of the UK’s leading bosses. It’s a completely new way of preparing for interviews. Jobseekers can rehearse with industry professionals like Duncan Bannatyne(Dragons’ Den), Ruth Badger (The Apprentice) and Jacqueline Gold (Ann Summers/Knickerbox), amongst others.
We will be adding on new business figures on a monthly basis to keep the site fresh and reflect job seekers’ interests.
We regularly keep up to speed with your blog, Recruitment Views, and as a great source of advice and information for candidates / the industry would like to make you aware of the site and get your feedback. Please get in contact if you would like more information about bemyinterviewer.co.uk or jobsite.co.uk.
Cheers!
Colleen
