Editor’s note: This is another post by Alex – this time as an exception it is on Monday. He is still keeping the Friday slot on TMP. I have now finished the two week work-based training course conducted by ICM (Institute of Customer Management), and if I’m honest I’m…
Editor’s note: This Friday we continue to follow Alex on his way to employment. With the first week of his training over, he discovered unexpected side(s) to himself; you, our dear readers, will learn whether a Jaffa cake is a cake or a biscuit – as I’ve said before you…
