  • every time marketing is mentioned in the internet someone posts THAT youtube clip up,

    And then some tedious person points it out in a po-faced manner.
    And so it goes...

  • Po faced?

  • 10 years time when I start my own brewery I'm not even gonna have a marketing budget. I'm gonna streak the Heineken Cup Final with bottles of the shit hanging out of my various orrifices

    that's a great marketing strategy, well done!

  • Ha! Stupid English people and there stupid langage!

  • Ha! Stupid English people and there stupid langage!

    I resent that:

  • Ha! Stupid English people and there stupid langage!

    I think you mean **'their' **stupid language.

    ;)

  • Bah, Enlglish swines!

  • i find the swine reference deeply offensive during these uncertain times.

  • Bah, Enlglish swines!

    Swine is the plural as well as the singular - just like sheep.
    Happy to help...

    'Enlglish'?

  • I resent that:

    re-sent that?

  • re-sent that?

    Oh FFS. Hush now.

  • No everyone nows that if you add and 's' to something it makes it plural (more than 1)

  • ^ what ?!?

  • Hi A1astair

    I'm not surprised the recruiters are not helping - they're being devastated at the moment because they're not getting the assignments. Instead people are sending their CV's straight to the employers so the employers don't need to use recruiters, especially at 20 - 30% commission.

    Posting here is a good idea - but the best way to do it is through your professional network - I'm sure you're asking around people you know in the industry as well as doing this but maybe the best approach would be rather than asking directly if a company has any jobs going, to get some informal face to face meetings with other firms to find out a bit about what they are doing, what their plans are, and to tell them a bit about yourself. If they think you just want a job then the door will often never be opened for you, but if you are there to explore and get to know each other, you may well get 30 minutes of someone's time and you may then be remembered when a vacancy does turn up, especially if you keep in touch. The point is that you need to build you contacts over time rather than do a Yosser Hughes "gizza job" approach.

    Personally I'd recommend sitting tight for as long as you can given the current situation. If you think that redundancy is on the cards you'll get a bit of money and you'll have time to search properly. If you absolutely have to leave now because you hate it make sure that you can demonstrate how you make money for your employer (it's amazing how many people don't do this - they need to know that you're going to earn them, or save them, more than you'll cost them), and better still, if you can take clients with you then make sure potential employers know that.

    If it helps there's some more stuff about this on my blog.

  • The proles are a lot easier to manipulate than us discerning types, Phil.

    Check out 'Century of the Self' to see how Freud's techniques were used to invent marketing/advertising. Evil.

    yeah, seen that. Brilliant.

    I need some of that shit at home. Some Blue Sky thinking from me at the washing up bowl would help. What's also needed is a general raised-awareness campaign centred on my not-uselessness in the domestic environment, combined with a sustained reduction of the image profile of cycling as being a 'diversion' and replace it with a perception that its a 'benefit' to all my femily members.
