"A CV should never be more than 2 pages" – nonsense – if you’ve done it, then put it down.​

​

"Being a ‘perfectionist’ and not being able to say ‘no’ are great examples of “weaknesses”’…Hmm.."​

​

"Most recruiters make their minds up within the first 3 minutes of an interview" – some go as far as to take into account what you have done and how you did it.

​

"All recruitment agencies speak to their candidates in depth about their client and respective roles prior to submitting their CV"…. unfortunately not always the case!

​

"It needs at least 2 consultants to meet with a client in order to understand their business fully’" – and probably at least 3 to change a light bulb.​

​

"Consultants should have crazy hair styles and pin stripe suits" – a correlation between attire and results has not yet been scientifically proven.

​

"All recruitment agencies are the same."​
