    stock market books

    It all depends what you want to know... I became interested in the markets, finance and hedging strategies in late November 2006, and started reading mid 2007.

    CVs - an optimal approach...

    Thanks! I'll certainly look into them... they currently say that their prices are in the range £159.00 - £980.00... If they could establish a document that satisfies me, I'd be happy to pay £250. Part of the problem is that I'm looking to use the CV to "go fishing" - so I don't have a...

    CVs - an optimal approach...

    Like a lot of posters here, I suspect, I consider myself technically adept. I have been contracting since 1996 - principally for one client... where the work was extraordinarily varied, technically challenging and interesting. I am now looking to broaden my horizons and look for work that is...
