‘National Tell a Lie Day’ was just too good a bandwagon not to jump on!

This might sound bold, but I class myself as an Olympic standard bullshit detector. Seriously, Sherlock has nothing on me when it comes to spotting ‘truth fabricators’ and their red flags. But this is a double-edged sword because I’ve only reached such an elite status because of the number of fibs I’ve been told over the years.


Some lies have been elaborate, others have made me question humanity and lots have been as basic as ‘Yes, I will call you back.’ (Spoiler: they don’t.) However, the one thing they all have in common is that they’re a massive waste of not only my time, but that of my clients.


Regardless of whether jobseekers have lied to me about having a counter offer or their career intentions, I have no hesitation in calling their bluff. Talking too much and general defensiveness are big giveaways that they’re talking b*llocks, and I usually respond to this by asking direct questions to get an honest answer.



So, although ‘National Tell a Lie Day’ seems to be more of a lifestyle choice for some individuals, I will always try and protect hiring managers from them as much as I possibly can.

Current Roles 

Do you know what you're good at?

According to the Office for National Statistics, there was a 9.6% rise in divorces in 2021 compared with 2020. I can only assume this is due to the aftermath of lockdown when people were stuck at home with their partners and asked themselves what they liked about them. 😬 A similar thing can happen in your career if don’t really know what your skills are and what your next move should be. When you strip things back and ask questions on a very fundamental level, it can feel like a loss of identity, which we’re all likely to experience at some point. This comes up in interviews a lot when job seekers just don’t understand where their strengths lie. When this happens, we really slow things down and ask what they love about their work to dig a bit deeper. Once we know what makes them tick, we’ll be in a better position to find a role that suits the energy they lead by, and an environment that fulfils them both personally and professionally.
