A Jobhunter view of temping
 
For those of you who haven't tried temping before or haven't even considered it, you should. It's a great, flexible way of earning money whilst saving for your next move or in some cases even deciding what that next move will be. You get to meet new people, visit new places and you have none of the monotony that frequently accompanies a permanent position. Temping can also lead to exciting opportunities that you may never have even considered.
 
 
Starting up your own business - Part 2
 
Once you have your business plan and funding in place for your own business, it's tempting to think that much of the hard work is over, but it's important to remember that nearly half of startup firms fold within their first two years of existence. Shrewd planning, lots of elbow grease and a bit of luck are needed to ensure you don't become another statistic. By now, you should've figured out what you're going to do and how you're going to do it. You should move quickly to sort out your stock, premises, marketing and online presence.
 
 
Why don't you tell me about yourself?
 
In today’s workplace it’s very important for employers to recruit the right person. They want someone who not only has the correct skills and experience to do the job, but also the sort of personality that will fit in with an existing team. So, how can you answer those tricky interview questions and convey all the great skills you have to offer?
