		<description><![CDATA[Smart phones, internet, social media sites, e-mails, tweeting, blogging - we have accepted all of these innovations as part of our working and daily lives – they help us to work more flexibly, stay in touch for longer and respond to each other more quickly.  But several surveys and employment tribunal cases this year have shown that employers need to provide clear guidance to staff regarding how they use social networking sites.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You may think this is a crazy notion; you’re fresh out of Uni, your CV is sparse, your bank account decidedly mothball-ridden, but jumping into the world of being self-employed could be a very wise move given the current climate. As recent figures have shown, more young people and recent graduates are out of work than ever before.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lets face it, everybody wants to sound fancy. One of the fun things about being a freelancer is choosing your own job title. No longer are you stuck with a corporation-mandated title such as "Phone Operator #4237", you can let your imagination soar and appoint yourself Captain of the World if you want. However, at what point does a fancy job title stop making you sound exciting, and start confusing your potential clients?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[CVs; we all have them, we've all read them and we all hate them. If Cthulhu himself had been sitting about on his throne of skulls or whatever thinking about the most horrific punishment to inflict on every working man and woman between the ages of 16 and 65, he would not have gone far wrong with the invention of the Curriculum Vitae.  Coming from the Latin expression meaning; "to put ones-self up for ridicule", curricula vitarum have been the mainstay of HR decisions for nearly two millennia.]]></description>

Poor old Tim has been having such a horrid time with the applications he's been getting that we decided to remind everyone that when pitching for a position or new client, a paper CV isn't your only option.]]></description>
