    I've accepted quite a few requests from agents on linkedIN and my hobby is looking through their CV's to see which arts degree they've chosen.

    I'd say over 50% have come from a music background into small locals sales then into corporate sales and finally into IT recruitment.

    as for the pictures - I've sometimes wondered if there's a bit of "honey pot" going on as the target candidate is generally a 30+ male...

    "I built a company of 30 people which had a turnover of over 3 million GBP. Unfortunately I have a heavy gambling problem and lost it all on the number 23".

    Nick, another bit of useless info is - the owner named the company after two big film stars of his generation - John Wayne and Deborah Kerr......the slang term associated with the combo did not exist at that time...what a brand
