Shananigans and late-night buggies...

I have to giggle....

One thing I particularly enjoy about the Events Industry - is the behind-the-scenes shananigans that keep everything poppling along.
JobServe Live! Reading (our Reading Recruitment Fair) took place last week in the Reading Town Hall, and after an amazing turnout (more than 1000 candidates looking for work!) we were encouraged by the physical confirmation that what we are doing, is the right thing!

Some would say with the rapid growth of social media and online presence, things like recruitment fairs may appear somewhat dated... but looking at the response to our event in Reading last week... I reckon those who think the above may need to do a little more homework on the matter. I don't think think that the opportunity for face-to-face meeting will ever become defunct, useless or unnecessary. I guess it just depends on the person looking for work. Those who are determined... will find what they are looking for at the end of the day. Those who are not, won't.

Next Step - who were offering advice clinics on the day - had queues of more than 50 at time, people just waiting to speak to someone who is able to provide the guidance, advice and career-time that would help them move forward in the search for their dream job.

However, back to the shananigans....
We drive through... we build.... (often late into the night, when the rest of the world is curled up snugly and warm)... we sleep... we wake up (a few hours later)... we open the doors... and a whole new world unfurls.
The event goes by without much hassle or hiccup....
We close the doors.... we break down again..... we drive home. ... (often late into the night, when the rest of the world is curled up snugly and warm).

However, sometimes, we do get a little distracted on the way home, and stop at the services for some late night sustenance....

or a ride in the kiddies' buggy...



Its a great thing.

Our next focus is our Scotland Trek. JobServe Live Glasgow will be held on the 8th June, and Business Scotland on the 9th of June - both in the Royal Concert Halls.

We'd love to see you there!
