Why trust is the new bottom line & how social media drives it

The number of people online has doubled since 2007. There are 2.55 billion people online and 91% of those use social or mobile networks. That’s an awe-inspiring number, but it’s just the start of a steep trajectory. Just as you’ve never lived in a world without cars and think of the horse-and-cart as quaint, so billions have never lived without hyper-connection. Would you tether a horse to a cart? Take it to a meeting across town? Could you even do so if you wanted to? No I imagine. So why do we expect others will want to connect with us on antiquated systems?

The 1 mile rule: What NOT to do after your interview

I’ve spent hours every day of my 10 year recruitment career interviewing people. Sometimes I am interviewing for my clients and sometimes I am interviewing for me and my own team. I take a huge amount of pride in providing the best possible environment for someone to shine and really show me what they are made of. I feel a huge responsibility to make sure I ‘bring it’ to the interview and by ‘it’ I mean the very best version of myself.

Made progress. One inch at a time. I still get the same feedback on the ‘development areas’, but not as robustly as before. Here’s my point. And a suggestion for you.

How being a ‘lab rat’ can fast-track your career

A young graduate recently joined our firm. I was scheduled to catch up with her but before I did I mulled over what I could share based on my 26 years in the PR industry that would add value to her new role and her career longer term. I boiled it down to six key points which I’ve called LAB RAT – I know, the acronym doesn’t exactly conjure up the best connotations for someone starting a new job, and in fact in some industries it’s a bit close to the truth, but at the very least it’s memorable and they apply to anyone starting out their career.
