Blog Page
This blog is a place where we will share knowledge and experiences relating to career development, decision making and application process. We will simply complex concepts, squash some myths and provide some insight into what you need to do to turn a NO into a YES.
The stories are real, the writing might be gritty at times, but the messages will provide clear and definitive outcomes for you in your pursuit of career progression.
You will find posts that may challenge popular belief/understanding, tackle age-old issues relating to the application process, professional decision making and how to get to where you want to be in your career.
We won’t reinvent the wheel, but we will synthesise the information, recommendations and expertise of employers to provide user-friendly, jargon-free guidelines which are workable within the confines of a hectic pressurised society.
We will actively invite guest bloggers to share their thoughts and knowledge in relevant areas and we wholeheartedly encourage you to engage with the authors and their content.
Happy reading!
