I am single. Recently single in fact. Despite feeling liberated and confident, as a young career-driven woman in her early-20s should, my friend still believed that I should make an attempt to "get back in the game" as it were.

Through analysing these numbers there is a very clear indication as to how fashion businesses are performing in what is the busiest time of the year with record profits and in some cases record loses.
So, who thinks they don't need to be online?

Post-Graduation Prospects

As we enter the New Year, unemployment is constantly in news and as recruiters we strive to understand the job market. In my experience over the last few years as an under-graduate, job seeker and now recruiter, I have had an inside view of one of the most difficult youth employment markets in recent history. In my opinion young people, qualified or not, are facing significant challenges which are set to peak over the next 12 months.
