What is possible?

So I'm retired, but it does not stop me thinking, what can I do to help reduce co2 emissions. Apart from insulating the property, low energy lighting, use the car less, and more public transport. Not much.

Now I have decided, and it is being installed this week, to have 12.5Kw of photovoltaic solar panels. This will reduce my carbon footprint.

Experience does matter

According to a survey, applicants are placing more value than ever before on their actual work experience than they have in the past - 45% cited their experience, 20.97% cited their education, 19.93 cited the people they know and 13.75%  cited their communication skills.
"At one time it was all about who you knew and who in your Rolodex© you could connect with in order to secure an interview," says Rich Milgram, CEO of Beyond.com. "While networking is and will continue to be an important component of the job search, it can only get you so far in the process. Employers are looking past just 'who you know' and making sure candidates have the right qualifications and experience before hiring."

New application forms added

The individual and company application forms have been added to the website. Work continues on building the interactive database.
