    Looks like an excellent idea. Certainly more useful than all the vague 'international bizziness strategy shizzle managerman' courses.
    And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

      I don't object to that. Just try to be witty and interesting rather than, as now, an abject bore.

        Kinda on the "shouldnt we all setup our own recruitment pimp shop" theme, maybe a smaller chunk to bite would be setting up some kind of self help group (bear with me) where we offer to sit down with our fellows and go through their CV's, what they are aiming for, and so on ?

            I think you get it right.

              And let the rest of us get on with the BA work. Not all of us have brains the size of planets.

                Well there's work out there for both (I know because that's the sphere I'm in, allbeit DSDM certified).

                So you're being too picky, not prepared to work in London or your CV's crap?

                    Some are incompetent and have ego (so don't listen and learn). Very bad combination.

                      Yes may be.

                      But what do you think about specific sectorial experience, i.e. banking or insurance ? On Jobserve many opportunities require previous experience in banks or insurance, and I suppose my lack of experience in these sectors is causing me to be trown away everytime.
