Recruitment - Advertising to Attract Great Applicants

Hi Friend

Hope you are having a brilliant week. We have finally finished our Christmas lights (for the second time this year - thanks storm!) ready for judging this weekend and they look pretty spectacular. The house is back to relative normality after the storms, with all damage repaired - only the mud in the carpet remains as a memory of the storm.

So, onto this week's newsletter. Finding great employees can be a challenge for many businesses. On the lead into Christmas (and the need for Christmas casuals in many businesses) we look at how to advertise to get great applicants. We also look at the importance of headlines in recruitment ads.

Our business of the week is the PCYC - one of my favourite community not for profit organisations. If you live in Brisbane put the 6th December in your diaries as the Arana Hills PCYC is holding their annual community carols - and I will be MC again for the event.

Finally, I need your help this week with Xmas jokes.
