When my boss decides to reduce my bonus

Meeting with my beloved boss who tells me that I have achieved all my goals but he must reduce my premium because blah blah blah...

Tuesday: Training day

When a so-called high-level trainer tells you that all you have to do is imitate him... Well...

That’s how you finish the day in your office trying to remember his instructions

I guess my 6 pm candidate was quite surprised...

What do you think a Recruitment Manager looks like ?

When looking at blogs about recruitment it’s quite funny to see the image that candidates have about interviewers they’re going to meet .

It coukd be that :

or that :

or something like that :

Well believe it or not it’s much more simple and there’s nothing to fear about. It’s just like :
