You may wonder why I am writing about layman’s terms. Quick and honest answer: during my English trainings, teaching and coaching, I realised that a lot of my students had never heard of this term!
It’s something I’m confronted with daily: discussing topics or explaining complex ideas in English that are comprehensible to all.
So what is layman's terms: it simply refers to using everyday language to explain complex ideas or concepts. It's about avoiding jargon and specialised terminology in favour of words and phrases that everyone, regardless of background or knowledge in a particular ..read more

Social media platforms have become a playground for scammers and frauders. Here are some tips to help you identify potentially fake job postings on social media:

Ask yourself this question:
Do you follow people on social media because they communicate well and brand themselves just as you would love to? They seem to lead a normal life while successfully managing a million-dollar business. They accompany their kids to school, cook dinner every night, and share photos of their family all together in paradisiacal locations. They have ventured into creating 10 companies; 9 out of 10 failed, but the last one emerged as the winner – a testament to the lessons learned and the tenacity exhibited in getting there.

Please forget and stop listening to all those inspirational coaches who are making money out of your situation. I have seen lots of advice lately like showing you are experienced in problem solving. LOL! I would think that this is a bit necessary in today’s changing world.
A job search entails affronting the same situation as a young graduate. However, if you are over 50, you have experience and you should be able to wing your interview without too much preparation. After all, you have the experience.
Remain true to yourself, don’t complain, and show up energetic.
Happy New Y ..read more

To understand one of the basic functionalities of an ATS, you must understand “parsing.” One definition of parsing is “Analyse (a string or text) into logical syntactic components.” So, if you think of your Resume/CV, it should be logical and with a correct grammatical arrangement which is clear for an ATS to order it correctly for the final reader i.e.: the hiring manager, HR or recruiter.
Avoid a Resume/CV with diifferent text boxes and no apparent logical pattern. Organise clearly your Resume/CV firstly with your name, contact details (town/city, email, telephone, LinkedIn profile ..read more
