Balance Your Life
ORG: Balance Your Life We've all heard about the work-life balance, a small industry has been started on the back of it with books, TV shows, speakers, personal motivation coaches, etc. etc. all coming at us with the same message - we need to balance the competing requirements of work and life. All well and good. But how does that relate to people who have been made redundant? We have no 'work' to balance, and sometimes the 'life' side is suffering a lot due to that. From my point of view the most important thing to do is to forget about the work-life ...
Top 5 Daily Planning Tips
For as long as I can remember I have been a list-maker, not for everything, but for things I want to do. I remember back in my teenage years I would have a big block of scrap-paper that would get filled with my to-do list. I'd start off one day, crossing off things I'd done, adding new things, and then when the space was filled up I would start a new sheet copying over most of the items still to-do. It was messy, un-productive and very leaky as my uncompleted list crossed more than one sheet, one half of which would ...
iPhone for a new job
With so few jobs, and so many people applying for them, time can be extremely important. The faster you get to know about a job the faster you can apply, and the more applications you can get completed. So it would be great if you can keep an eye on the job-market while you are on the move, or give yourself chance to keep your name in people's minds when you meet them while networking, etc. Well we've taken a look at some iPhone applications that should help you do just that! Search for them on Apple's App Store. LinkedIn - LinkedIn is probably ...
Friends and networking
I'm sure that most of us are a bit reticent about leaning on friends to help you get permanent or contract work - and rightly so. Our friends may have been made at previous jobs, but that doesn't mean we should always be working with them. Friendships should be protected as much as possible from the stresses brought on by asking them to get you a new job. But that doesn't mean that they can't help in lots of ways. They can be a great source of support, allowing you to forget about your situation for a while. They may also ...

Don’t get down – keep active
So here I am again after some unplanned time away from the site. My birthday was in Mid-March, a day I spent in a different city discussing a potential contract – which I am frustratingly still awaiting final confirmation on – before travelling back to London the same day in order to go for an operation the next morning. After that I had... [Read more of this review]
Review your life
Where are you? What do you need? What do you want? The idea of reviewing your life can seem like a scary proposition when you have recently been made redundant – but it is essential. Even if you were lucky enough to have been happy in your previous role, it still pays to spend some time asking some questions of yourself. And if you weren’t... [Read more of this review]
Take the time to get out and about
Now you are unemployed you probably have a great deal more time on your hands – even if you do spend loads of time applying for jobs, working on side-projects, doing up the house, etc. So why not spend some of this time travelling and exploring.
