Global technical recruitment company, NES Group, is advising candidates to refrain from giving details of their hobbies and interests in CVs. The company says it just isn’t appropriate to include personal interests when applying for professional roles. “Whilst sharing details of your personal hobbies may seem like it gives ‘colour’ to a CV, it can backfire by prompting employers to make a judgment about you”.

Thank you to everybody who came to our ‘Be Vocal for Success’ taster session in conjunction with Priscilla Morris from the leading voice management company Loud & Clear Voice Coaching. We discussed the influence your voice has, how you can persuade and manage others and how you can use your voice as a free marketing tool.
Following this extremely successful taster session we are now holding a new indepth voice seminar in conjunction with Priscilla Morris.
The topic is ‘Focusing your Business Voice’ where we will provide you with the skills and insights you need to influence others successfully. It will deliver simple and practical solutions to enable you to make a strong impact immediately, to communicate effectively in meetings and present with confidence.
The seminar will be held at The Angel Hotel on Wednesday 9th June from 9.30am – 12.30pm. The seminar itself starts at 10.00pm with the opportunity to network before and afterwards. Tea, coffee, soft drinks and light snacks will be served on arrival. The cost of the seminar is £25.00 per person.

 Its Christmas time and Vanilla are having fun,
Making your requirements priority Number One,
From Temp to Perm our aims are always clear,
Giving you quality service, year after year.
2009 has seen a changing of the guard,
With Elly having twins, now sleeping’s bloody hard,
But she’ll be back, with a oodles of style and plenty of vigour,
Not least a big smile and a much slimmer figure!
The Vanilla babes are always on your side,
Filling vacancies with commitment and pride,
So have no fear, our team will knock on all the right doors,
Recruiting the best, for each individual cause.
So Christmas is nearly upon us and its time to be merry,
But just make sure that Santa gets his pie and sherry,
We hope your break is a real festive thriller,
With thanks and best wishes from all at Vanilla!
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from all at Vanilla.

Our next free seminar is on Wednesday 27th January 2010 at The Angel Hotel with Alastair Campbell of The Ideal Marketing Company.
The topic is ‘The 7 Steps to Successful Goal Setting’.
When we run our own business or department, it is very easy to become absorbed in day-to-day tasks without taking the time to look at the ‘bigger picture’. This interactive seminar covers a simple process we can all learn to make sure that life doesn’t pass us by and how we can achieve the things that are important to us. You’ll learn how to focus on the priority areas at work – as well as having more time with friends and family. And finally you’ll discover why the great philosopher Bruce Forsyth was trying to tell us the key to a successful life – we just weren’t paying attention.
