But, upon reading through the job advertisement it soon became apparent that no thought whatsoever had gone into its make-up. Indeed, this job post was over 200 lines long and consisted purely of dull cut and pasted, bullet-pointed content lifted straight…

Among the many buzzwords circulating throughout the recruiting and staffing industry, none perhaps is said with more trepidation and contempt than millennials.

Your resume is a work of art. Your cover letter is perfect. And no one fits this job better than you.

But here goes the problem:

You're a 100% introvert who, put it nicely, doesn't like ongoing interactions, greetings, handshakes, questions, and being the center of attention. In other words, you can't stand anything related to successful job interviews.

Yes, it's tough. It's stressful, challenging, and terrifying. But no matter how introverted you are, you won't be able…

Inflation is now running around 1%.  That’s really low.  There are financial benefits to low inflation, but low inflation generally doesn’t help businesses grow.
