Job Seeker Tips: Understanding Psychometric Testing*
There has been a shift in the recruitment and hiring industries over recent years. Now the attitude of candidates receives as much – or sometimes more – weighting as their aptitude to perform a certain role. In their quest to match people’s personality and work style to the right role and team at the right organisation, many recruiters and human resources departments like Chandler Macleod are now using a combination of psychometric testing applications, psychology based testing and interviews to assess and place candidates. Below you’ll find more information about some of the tests that you may come across while you’re searching for your next job. What Is Psychometric Testing?…

#ChristmasJumperDay 2014
Today is Christmas Jumper Day! Last year Little Miss and I took part, so obviously when I saw matching sweaters in Asda that included a fair donation to Save The Children I knew what we would be wearing. If you are donning your festive sweater today, don’t forget to text JUMPER to 70050 to make your £2 donation. Save the Children is such a wonderful charity that helps children not just living in poverty around the world, but also here, right on our doorstep. I’m completely out of the swing of taking outfit posts. They’re just not top of my priority at the moment what with the bad weather meaning…

Christmas Ideas for Stocking Fillers*
ALL LINKS HAVE BEEN REMOVED AS ITEMS NO LONGER FOR SALE. This is my final gift guide for the year guys. I apologise for the fact it’s smaller than the rest but I’m going through some stuff with my family and I don’t really want to spend hours in the evening on my laptop (hence the lack of post yesterday). Today I have a few stocking ideas for girls and guys. In our house we never bought designated stocking presents, it was just whatever was small or edible. I seem to do the same with LM and of course I don’t have a stocking. I know a lot of people…

Christmas Ideas for Men (Brothers, Dads, Male Friends etc)
ALL LINKS HAVE BEEN REMOVED AS ITEMS NO LONGER FOR SALE. Every year I say (and write) this, but I find men so incredibly hard to buy for. Luckily I only have my dad, my sister’s boyfriend and my best friend’s boyfriend to buy for. Bee told me what to get her other half thankfully, because otherwise I would have had no idea! Thankfully my sister’s boyfriend and my dad are very into pop culture and geekery meaning I can generally find something that would do for them. Like with all my gift guides the gifts I have chosen are inspired by people I know but this one more so…

There Is Something About Cosplay..*
I have had a rather horrible day today so to cheer myself up I wanted to write a little bit about my new hobby. This year I discovered the world of cosplay.. well when I say discovered, I mean it has become a part of my life. I always knew of cosplay, but I wasn’t sure where or when it was appropriate. But then we (as in Bee & I) booked tickets to LFCC back in March, and I was finally going to get to do it.. but not just cosplay, Disney cosplay. Cosplay has always appealed to me. Since a small child I have loved to dress up. I…

Walt Disney World Planning… 120 Days to Go
I can’t believe 30 days have passed already since I was writing my first planning update! I can’t believe 60 days have passed since we booked our dining reservations! I’m so glad we did as I checked the other day and there is nothing during the time we’re there for the restaurants we want! I have already been warned by some WDW cast members that the 10 days we’re there, 7 of which will be insanely busy! That means I need to be on the ball 60 days before to ensure I get the fast pass reservations I want, especially for Anna & Elsa! As a WDW holiday is an…
