  • Career spotlight: Soldiersailor in the hot seat

    Every once in a while, it’s highly recommended to stop completely and take check of what’s going on in your world, or rather – career. This is exactly what I did on reading the finished interview I recently had with recruiters GXY Search. Unusually, this time round saw me in the hot seat. The result?…

  • We’ve been talking…you better get blogging

    I haven’t met a blogger yet that’s not guilty of finding an excuse to prevent them from keeping their blog up to date; myself included.  So when I gasped in horror today as a colleague told me they hadn’t written a post in almost five months, I also drew a silent sigh of relief thinking…

  • ASOS Magazine Goes Digital

    I’m very pleased to share the news that ASOS have launched a digital version of their hugely successful magazine and for extra brownie points; they’ve even made it clickable. A fun, fashionable and clued-up read it’s one the few brands that have successfully delivered the ‘magalogue’ concept combining editorial and mail order.  As a regular…

  • Update your cool with yearbookyourself.com

    After a particularly awful week (and it’s only Thursday) I discovered yearbookyourself  – the perfect antidote.               It’s a really simple website that requires you to load a photograph of anyone you’d care to humiliate publicly be it yourself, a friend or like I’ve roped in, the rest of the office.  The site will then do…

  • Does social networking hamper our ability to bond?

    I recently met someone who blogs practically for a living, which then provoked me to consider if all of the social marketing activity happening in this technology obsessed world, detracts from us being able to integrate as social beings in person. With the creation of all sorts of distractions such as MySpace, Bebo, numerous blogs…
