First day back at work, and I've already had a NO SHOW from a potential client. He approached me. He booked the meeting. He hasn't responded to my messages.
This kind of thing used to make me angry. Not anymore. If he doesn't respect my time, he's not the right client for me.
How's your day going?

If you’re frustrated by the state of the job market and the horrendous application process you need to hear this.

Special ‘Job Search SOS’ episode of Don’t Shoot the Messenger is out now.

Listen to this honest and candid Q&A session with me and Lucy Cairncross, MD of VMA GROUP.

It’s Coco The Incontinent Poodle’s 8th birthday today. What better first post for Bluesky than a photo of her being bonkers.
