The Apprentice returned this week – and I do love that programme. I know it’s been many years now, so it’s hardly the new phenomenon it was; much like X-Factor, it’s become a bit tired and predictable in many ways, not least in the number of...

We are halfway to the October half term holiday now, and by and large the move to junior school has gone well for our eldest. He’s happy to go in the mornings (unless he thinks of something else he’d rather be doing), and has plenty to tell us in the evenings about...

For once, we chose the best week to go on holiday this year. The heatwave cooled the day we travelled to Gatwick, and the August heavens finally opened – for the first time in weeks – as we settled into the airport hotel room. Now, after a week of being blasted by...

“To apply for this position, send a copy of your CV and a covering letter…” Or, equally terrifying on an application form: “Please provide an outline of your skills and experience” These are the things that strikes real fear into the heart of the...

Lots of things change in Autumn, as well as leaves and the weather. New starts and new school terms can get you thinking about a new job, as well – so you’ll probably need a CV. If it’s been a while since you looked at your CV, or if you’ve never needed...
