With 83% of people citing their career as the most important driver of financial security and mental wellbeing, the size of the recruitment and careers industry is unsurprising.

✔️ How to avoid your CV being used as a marketing tool by recruiters
✔️ How to work out which CV appraisal services are a scam
✔️ Why many ATS optimisation scanners are fundamentally flawed
✔️ The truth about ATS and why much of what you are told is nonsense
✔️ How to keep your personal data safe whilst applying for jobs
