Job hunting in the UK is not for the faint-hearted! It can be stressful, tedious, and in some cases very demoralising. The job search process in 2025 is more complex than ever, with greater competition and evolving market dynamics making it harder to stand out.  The reality is many of us were led to believe...

I was watching the MOBO Awards yesterday evening, and it inspired me to reflect on the importance of perseverance. It resonated with a LinkedIn post I shared last week about staying focused, staying committed and making 2025 your best year yet, even when the motivation fades.

What I’ve learned is that landing a job isn’t just about ticking all the boxes on a job description, it’s about how you position yourself and communicate your value to decision-makers. According to Indeed, British job seekers don’t...

Today marks the first day of the new year! 2025 is the year for building positive habits and dropping the bad ones. While I can’t say I’m a massive advocate for New Year’s resolutions, I do believe in taking the opportunity to reflect, refocus, and take actionable steps toward your goals. If one of your...
