Processing job applications - tips
Having just read the interview technique tips thread I just thought I would share an HR strategy that I read about a few years ago for screening CVs. Apparently, this guy used to randomly throw half the CVs he received straight into the bin. This weeded out the naturally unlucky candidates. Just thought I’d share this.

What happens if company goes into administration?
Not for me but a question for a friend (no, really it is!) He works for a large company and is entitled to about 14 months worth or redundancy pay. If the company goes into administration would he still get this or is it then just if the Company has enough money left or does it have to ringfence this money somewhere? Thanks

Good luck, all.
We have to hope that this Forum is itself redundant, as quickly as possible.
