Poppy power
This week it's Remembrance Day, one of the worthiest of appeals, so don't forget to buy a Poppy – it's a cool thing to do. Now, if you're not finding any good jobs why not start asking for them with a speculative application? It shows initiative, enthusiasm – and all those other things employers love. Next up: the cold weather's kicking in so we advise on what to wear to work without looking like Ranulph Feinnes crossing the North Pole with huskies. Lastly, check out our special audio download on covering letters – and cover yourself in glory.
