There’s a video doing the rounds of #Gazza #PaulGascoigne and it’s awful to see. So instead I’m sharing this memorable pic of him in his prime in hope that he will find the strength and help to get back on track #PrayForGazza @Paul_Gascoigne8 @Shanewh1tfield

[puddwinkle @puddwinkle]

Couldn’t agree more . I’ve had the pleasure to meet him and he is a lovely fun loving guy . Humiliating someone when there down is disgraceful . Get well soon Paul #paulgascoigne

[East Side Staffing @EastSideStaff]

You'd be surprised to know how many #HR pros need help with their own resumes, job-searching activities, hiring efforts... just because you can do it for everyone else doesn't mean it's easy when it comes to your own efforts. Don't be surprised if/when you need support/advice!

[Marcus Barber @Marcus_barber]

@WilliamVHickey I include a couple on mine, although I'm fine if people don't. I honestly don't have a strong opinion

[Marcus Barber @Marcus_barber]

Light hearted question (I hope) - what are the best and worse team building events or away days you've experienced?

[Marcus Barber @Marcus_barber]

Not a huge surprise, although I'm not convinced about the turnover stat for recruiters.

@Adam_Karpiak @mikefabus That made me chuckle! That's definitely why!

[Marcus Barber @Marcus_barber]

@mikefabus @Adam_Karpiak I don't think I've ever approached someone who called themself a ninja. Don't plan to change this either

"Why don't recruiters reach out to me on LinkedIn?"
*visits profile*
Because your profile has literally nothing searchable.

Recruiters search several things: Keywords, Titles, Location, & Company

Notice I didn't list "Witty Profile Headlines" or "Extremely Personable Summaries”

[Rethink Mental Illness @Rethink_]

The #MentalHealthAct needs to change so that people like Georgi are listened to and treated with dignity. Her story is intense and upsetting so please take care watching this film. Sign our petition to improve the Act here > https://t.co/EKri5mWljA

More than 9 out of 10 CVs contain spelling errors, and men are the main culprits. There are few excuses for spelling mistakes. https://t.co/1Hp3z11JOR

@AlfMayaki In what way?
