Quite a lot, as it happens. I’m about to blow my own trumpet so, as convention dictates, first I must self-deprecate. I don’t have a qualification to my name, and have never been promoted. I did of course achieve my Gold Arrow in the Cubs, was a seconder then a sixer, and in the Scouts...
If you have only read modern media, you might be forgiven for thinking that discrimination, particularly in the employment arena is the very definition of a bad thing. All recruiters should be aware of legislation covering this subject, and ensure their professional activities do not make them liable to either prosecution of even criticism. However,...
Online security frustrates the hell out of me, and you too, I imagine. Not only are login systems for incidental services often harder to penetrate than my online banking, but they are invariably illogical in the extreme. At the weekend I tried to book cinema tickets with Odeon.co.uk. After selecting the movie, cinema and show...
This is just a very quick aside, to say that the older I get, the more I appreciate living in Glasgow. Here are some pictures I took on a recent bike ride (apart from the first one, which is a helicopter shot). [gdl_gallery title=”Glasgow” width=”250″ height=”250″]
I just came across this clip of me, being interviewed by the inestimable Jim Stroud. I can now reveal that the list of hats I wear will be changing, but will still include running the National Online Recruitment Awards.

So I can claim credit afterwards, or get pilloried for being so wrong, here are my predictions / preferences for the Oscar Awards, being held later tonight. I’m not big on awarding prizes for artistic endeavour, but for as long as they will have them, the industry will make a big deal of it. Suffice...
Ordinarily I wouldn’t think this stuff needs explaining, but following my last blog about the government’s new Universal JobMatch job board, it’s clear from the responses that there are still a great number of misconceptions about our industry. If you think I am stating the bleedin’ obvious, then this blog is not aimed at you....
As should always be the case, bloggers can choose to accept replies to their articles or not; and when they do, are perfectly entitled to delete those which disagree with their article. So what can a person do, when their reply isn’t approved by said blogger? Here is an article I read last week, and...
Over 4,000 unique visitors to this blog website, in January 2013, is a new high, and quite unexpected. A very sincere thanks to all visitors, old and new.
Look, I’d very much like these statistics, published today in the Sunday Times, to be true, but frankly, I just don’t believe them. Is this the first year these statistics have been collected, from the same demographic sample? If so, we might properly ask if women business owners have different attitudes (on the whole) to...
