Just got this press release from Holly at Recruitment Juice. Holly is a girl who it's hard to say "no" to. So I am more than happy to mention this for her....
"It's now more important than ever for job seekers to really excel at their role in the recruitment process. So we’re canvassing YOU, the people who know, to find out what this actually means. We want to hear from all the players in the recruitment industry, those hiring people direct, in fact anyone and everyone involved in the job market."
The "juiciest" response will win a mixed case of Juice Devine (apparently "the virtuous fruity alternative to champagne that's perfect for office hours celebrations")
In return for the blatant PR plug Holly sent me over a few of the responses they have already had:
· Candidate turning up for interview in wetsuit (thought it would make him stand out)
· Candidate who took his Mum to an interview – and had to ask her where he lived when asked by the interviewer
· Candidate who included doing minor surgery on his pet as a hobby!
Can you do better than that?
PS, RecruitmentJuice are offering ukrecruiter subscribers a £50 discount when you enter the code ‘UKRECRUITER’ when ordering
Louise, you've just accomplished the unheard of.... I do believe I'm actually blushing!
Thanks v much for the plug though and really looking forward to both serious and not-so-serious input from the industry.
VB,
Holly.
