    by Personnel Today 16 May 2006
    by Personnel Today 16 May 2006

    Your 'Astrology schmology - get real' rant demonstrated the type of humourless, holier-than-thou personality that is typecast as an HR professional.

    FA’s recruitment practices leave a lot to be desired

    by Personnel Today 16 May 2006
    by Personnel Today 16 May 2006

    by Personnel Today 9 May 2006
    by Personnel Today 9 May 2006

    The Rant on professional development in HR (Personnel Today, 18 April) was spot on. I was able to take my Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development qualification within the NHS, but when I tried to get a job outside, I was told that I didn't have enough experience
