Your CV is your ambassador to potential employers – if it doesn’t shine, then you won’t land an interview. http://www.blueeskimo.com/magazine/june-2008/making-the-most-of-your-cv Blue Eskimo Sun, 01 Jun 2008 00:00:52 GMT http://www.blueeskimo.com/1796 When it comes to being truly effective and successful at work, knowing when to stop chasing promotions is probably the hardest lesson to learn. http://www.blueeskimo.com/magazine/january-2008/the-only-way-to-career-success-is-not-up Blue Eskimo Wed, 16 Jan 2008 11:00:22 GMT http://www.blueeskimo.com/1617 It’s a new year and most of us will be thinking about losing weight, quitting smoking, exercising more – or perhaps finding a new job. http://www.blueeskimo.com/magazine/january-2008/new-year,-new-job Blue Eskimo Wed, 16 Jan 2008 10:59:43 GMT http://www.blueeskimo.com/1619 You don’t get many successful people – in any walk of life – saying that they got to the top despite hating every minute of what they do. If you hate your job – you’re doing the wrong thing, or doing the right thing in the wrong place. http://www.blueeskimo.com/magazine/january-2008/doing-what-you-love-is-the-key-to-career-success Blue Eskimo Wed, 16 Jan 2008 10:59:42 GMT http://www.blueeskimo.com/1618 Sure you want a job – but do you want it to look like you need the job so badly that you’ve not done your homework? Finding out about a potential employer is one of the most effective steps to interview success. http://www.blueeskimo.com/magazine/november-2007/before-you-send-your-cv-do-your-research Blue Eskimo Mon, 12 Nov 2007 10:36:01 GMT http://www.blueeskimo.com/1549 Many people see sales purely as a numbers game – you throw enough bait into the pond and someone’s got to bite. But more successful selling, especially in training, takes a little more forethought. http://www.blueeskimo.com/magazine/november-2007/look-before-you-sell Blue Eskimo Mon, 12 Nov 2007 10:35:37 GMT http://www.blueeskimo.com/1550 Every learning organisation has a need for sales; some more than others. But all face the same challenge: when you need new ‘sales blood’ do you recruit, train or outsource? http://www.blueeskimo.com/magazine/november-2007/new-sales-skills-for-training-and-e-learning-organisations Blue Eskimo Mon, 12 Nov 2007 10:29:30 GMT http://www.blueeskimo.com/1548 Whether you want to be a trainer, a sales person, a project manager – or any role from a multitude of others – the training industry can provide a rewarding and interesting career. http://www.blueeskimo.com/magazine/august-2007/preparing-for-a-job-in-the-training-industry Blue Eskimo Mon, 30 Jul 2007 09:47:47 GMT http://www.blueeskimo.com/1129 The leading UK IT training research company, IT Skills Research, has published its ninth annual table of the top IT training providers in the UK – and it shows an industry which is doing well. http://www.blueeskimo.com/magazine/august-2007/top-uk-it-training-companies-in-2007 Blue Eskimo Mon, 30 Jul 2007 09:47:47 GMT http://www.blueeskimo.com/1130 Everyone gets jaded in his or her job from time to time. Whether from boredom or a desire to progress, the grass often looks greener on the other side of the hill. Chances are, though, that the career change you are looking for may be closer than you think. http://www.blueeskimo.com/magazine/august-2007/changing-jobs-within-the-training-industry Blue Eskimo Mon, 30 Jul 2007 09:47:47 GMT http://www.blueeskimo.com/1131 Training companies are more frequently asking Blue Eskimo to find them sales people who are skilled at ‘consultative sales’. But what makes a good consultative sales person? http://www.blueeskimo.com/magazine/june-2007/consultative-sales-in-the-training-industry Blue Eskimo Mon, 30 Jul 2007 09:47:46 GMT http://www.blueeskimo.com/1170 If the recent IT Skills Research report proves one thing above all else, it’s that the IT training industry is alive and well – in fact, in pretty good shape. So why do so many people think otherwise? http://www.blueeskimo.com/magazine/june-2007/it-training-grows-up Blue Eskimo Mon, 30 Jul 2007 09:47:46 GMT http://www.blueeskimo.com/1171 Consistently successful selling, for obvious reasons, represents the key goal for any salesperson wanting a long and rewarding career in sales. There is, however, no magic formula that can immediately result in huge increases in your revenues. http://www.blueeskimo.com/magazine/june-2007/stepping-stones-to-successful-selling Blue Eskimo Mon, 30 Jul 2007 09:47:46 GMT http://www.blueeskimo.com/1188
