Joint 3rd best recruitment blog for 2007
Well as Louise put it
"Not bad going for someone who’s been rather slack with the posting lately!"
Well if that isn’t a kick up the back side I don’t know what is, still congratulations to Peter Gold in winning and my fellow runners up James Parr with Omniblog and a few friends at Digital Recruiting. Also I must give a big thank you to all those who voted for my blog.
I have to admit it has been a little difficult to get back into the swing of it again, which I am pleased to say is more down to the sales I have been getting with Arithon, one of which was a direct result of this blog.
So less of the excuses and a little more action, like any job rhythm is the key to success particularly if you work from home.
What No Blackberry for Christmas!
Why is it whenever you go on a company visit or out interviewing, there is always an urgent call to cancel or arrange an interview and you haven’t the candidates or the hiring managers number.
OK I could have one of these new Internet phones or a Blackberry or even the trendy I-phone, but there was none to be found in my stocking on Christmas day! Although I did get the new I-Pod Nano, so I could finally take my music with me. Yes I have to admit I have been a bit slow here, but that’s what comes from working from home.
Anyway to my surprise when I hooked it up to my computer, I found it synced with my Outlook contacts and diary so although I cannot pick up my emails at least I can find that urgent number without having to phone the office.
Mind you I am sure some companies will feel uncomfortable with this with data protection and all, but none the less a cheaper option than having to buy a Blackberry and the associated network charges.
Happy New Year
Well I have finally got through all my emails after the break, I suppose that what you get when you take 10 days of without access to the Internet!
Firstly I want to wish you all a Happy and Prosperous New Year and don’t let those “drop outs” get you down this week, its just part of the game.
Also I wanted to take this opportunity to thank those of you who felt my blog was worthy to subscribe too and all of you who taken time out to make comments, I really appreciate it. It is the growing number of subscriptions and comments that drive me on to keep writing, which I have to say isn’t my most natural skill.
So having said that I look forward to 2008
