When in Rome...


I am off to one of my favourite European cities today.. Rome. What a lovely city. The buildings, the history, the people, the food, the drink... I can not think of anywhere better to spend the weekend. There is also the weather. As its been getting colder and colder here in the UK, going into minus figures in Scotland, I am looking forward to 18 degrees in lovely Rome.

As you may tell from lack of blog updates, its been a busy few weeks leading up to this break. The international accountancy job market has gone mad. Heaps of new vacancies coming through from all corners of the world. Australia, New Zealand, Far East, Middle East, Bermuda, Caribbean, Europe... you name it we have roles there! Now all we need is to find qualified accountants with the right experience to fit each role.

Post recession companies are still being very choosey regarding the experience, qualifications and personalities they are recruiting. There is certainly competition for the Hot Roles. However, I am told by the accountants we work with that we give the very best interview preparation they have ever received, thus giving them an edge over other applicants. The statistics seem to back this up, showing our applicants are more likely to secure a role than any other. We truly believe time invested in this area pays off. After all, all we want to do is Improve Lives....

Here's a question... How long do you spend preparing for
an interview?

My first Blog.. What is it all about?

So this is the first time I have written a blog. However, having been using Twitter, Facebook and Linked in for quite sometime, I think I will enjoy the freedom of words available!

My plan will be to use this space to update anyone interested on topical knowledge of what is happening in the recruitment market worldwide and also include blogs about my travels. The recruitment market is a great indicator of the economic climate and I am a frequent traveller.

I mainly live and work in Edinburgh, although spend a large % of my time living in Australia and travelling the rest of the world. In the last 12 months I have visited and travelled across:

Australia
New Zealand
Thailand
England
Scotland
Ireland
Italy
France
Belgium
Guernsey
Jersey
Penang
Malaysia
Hong Kong

So, if you are interested in following my rather hectic lifestyle then please feel free to follow me.
