Bunny Abroad

Bunny just realised that while she was in Los Angeles her blog celebrated its 1 year anniversary

It all started here, at WordPress, but Bunny soon moved on to her own domain….

Happy blogging!

Having just started in what still seems to be my dream role (fingers crossed), I just though I would share some tips with recruiters, as the points below have annoyed me a lot over the past year or so:

1. Please read through my CV/profile/the brief I have given you properly before getting in touch; it makes me doubt how professional you are when you keep contacting me about irrelevant roles or don’t know about my past experience/current role/salary level.

2.It’s fine to ask me about candidate tips for roles that are not relevant for me, but why not send me an email instead – seeing as most of the contact details you are asking for will be saved on the mobile you are calling me on, so I cannot look them up while talking to you

3.Please don’t call from an undisclosed number – the chance of me answering the call is a lot higher if I know who’s calling, and it is a lot easier to return the phonecall if I have already got the number on my mobile

4.Please do not leave me along and warbled answer phone message

No, I don’t enjoy having to replay the message several time to try and suss out your name and phone number

Top tip: Get yourself an email SMS system, where you can easily send me a message with all the relevant information and a telephone number…increases the chance of me getting back to you promptly.

5.As much as I would like to meet up with everyone to increase my chances of finding the perfect role; please do realise that I am NOT just working with you…and the chances of me meeting you at daytime while in a job are pretty slim unless you have a relevant role right now…

I would also like to add that I have had the opportunity to work with some really good, enthusiastic and professional recruiters – and they mostly never display any of the above behaviours…I take my hat off to all of you!

Bunny loves the TIGI products, the design, the smell, the names…and having finished her old bottles of Self Absorbed, it was time to try some new Bed Head stuff. This time Bunny decided on the Moisture Maniac -  and of course loving the 2 for £20 offer for the massive bottles with practical pumps…

Bunny is getting some aggression out on My Brute.

Bunny likes Google’s way of marking England’s national day

(as most English people don’t really celebrate it at all)
