Read MoreThe hidden factors behind hiring choices
Hiring decisions say as much about the company making them as they say about you. Another writer on another website might add the word ‘Discuss‘ to the end of that statement, All I want to add is your experience… Companies make decisions and they have their own reasons for doing so, But then again, so do we.

Read MoreMore on Michael Collins and Your Career
People achieve incredible things in their working lives, But we only seem to hear a few outstanding career stories up close. That means we don’t get to understand what makes most people tick, The millions of different ways a person can overcome, succeed or keep going against all the odds. Take Michael Collins for example: He had one of the most celebrated jobs in the world, But most of us only remember the two people he worked closely with for a few weeks in 1969, (their names were Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin by the way). Michael Collins has been called ‘the other’ Apollo...
