Do you want to work outside?

Vitamin D. Did you ever think the essential element which helps regulate the amount of calcium and phosphate in the body (a description which is quite clearly lifted from a quick search of Google rather than an innate recollection of A Level biology) would influence your job choice? No, neither did I, but then again...

Why financial services are the future

Wouldn’t it be great if you knew which sector was going offer you lots of high paying, stimulating jobs in the future? Deciding what career path to follow would be child’s play if that were the case and you could spend the intervening years upskilling yourself to the eyeballs. We’ve already tried to offer you...

Transferable skills; your passport to a new career

The holiday season is upon us. While many of us are looking forward to the empty roads which the next few weeks promise, many people will be heading off for sunnier climes or just for a few days away from the humdrum of day-to-day work life. With idle hours to spare, it can be a...

What Brexit Means to Your Job

Brexit means many things to many people. Some think it’s devastating for the Northern Ireland economy; some think it’s the best thing since sliced (wheaten) bread; some think it’s a new breakfast cereal (Crunchy Nut Brexit is apparently very popular).

Whoop! High fives all round! Take the afternoon off, you guys!

Yes it’s time to celebrate because the Northern Ireland job market hasn’t been in as a good shape for ages, according to the most recent set of stats from those clever bods at NISRA (Northern Ireland Stats are Really Awesome). At least, that’s what the headline numbers want you to believe. The number of people...

How to prepare for an interview

Congratulations! Who knew you’d get as far as an interview? Not me, that’s for sure. Anyway, you’re here now so you should really make sure you’re properly prepared. You might think you know loads about the company you’re about to interview with, that you’re a dab hand at interviews and, really, you should be sitting...

How To Get A Graduate Job

Your dissertation has been handed in, your final exams are over and the last few nights of celebration have been a blur of exhaustion, emotion and booze. All that’s left to do is throw your mortarboard in the air on graduation day and get a job. Ah. Real life hits like Carl Frampton in the...

Why you should get a job in construction

There’s a crisis in the construction sector. No, not the sort of crisis which brought the sector to its knees in the wake of the credit crunch and subsequent downturn after 2007. Then the demand for new buildings – both residential and commercial – fell off a cliff and the industry which probably helped more...

Want to earn twice the average salary?

Did you get hacked? The recent cyber-attack on the NHS and a host of other organisations around the world has been mooted as the most widespread and effective yet. But it would appear that title will be short lived because news reports would suggest that WannaCry is the first of many major cyber-attacks we’ll come...

How to apply for a job

Let’s face it, getting a job is difficult. Unemployment rates might be pretty low but it’s still not easy to land the role of your dreams. Even if you’ve ticked all the “essential criteria” in the application form, getting to the interview stage can sometimes seem like a bit of a lottery. It shouldn’t. By...
