Casual jobs in the library mean serving customers, seeking out books for them, checking out books, returning books to shelves. I’d love a job like this […]
Hibernating LinkedIn & Moving My CV Here
I have written about hibernating in my recent post LinkedIn Gone to Sleep which is a way I’m managing, well, let’s just say, filtering and directing all enquiries to come through my site here. About a couple of years ago, I used a specific code to Unfollow Everyone on LinkedIn and wrote about it in […]
LinkedIn Gone to Sleep
Yesterday I was chatting with a friend through texts (I’m doing a lot of that now) and it was mentioned about ‘hibernating LinkedIn’.

I Was Doing Outlook All Wrong!
It’s International Work Out Loud Week where we show the process of what we are working and learning, and today I share how I relearned Outlook.

Meeting Your Network In Person
Building your online networks of people you can learn from can happen online and they can happen in real life – in fact, the medium is not really important – it’s what comes out of that network, connection or relationship that has far more value.
