Hello everyone!

Welcome welcome to my monthly blog, The Recruitment Waffle. This is going to be the new home for my monthly musings, waffles, rants, tips tricks, overshares, training bites, life updates and general recruitment wonderings.

I am SO excited!

Over the past 18 years in recruitment, and the last 7 years training recruiters and advising agency owners, I hope to have learnt a thing or two about our weird and wonderful industry.

Add to that a few years of deep diving into yoga, meditation and wellness, and then chucking in a two year old for good measure, I have also learnt a few things about balance, boundaries, the importance of personal reflection and development, and the need to take a holistic approach to ones career and time management.

This however is not going to be a heavy, self reflective place, more a 'turn up and see what I end up writing' kind of place.

I hope to keep it fun, lighthearted, and provide a bit of value for you along the way too.

Writing is a wonderful outlet for me, and I was feeling a little constricted by the characters on a LI post, so this is also a selfish pursuit too, in giving myself a little corner of the internet to share.

Some blogs will run more like written training, some will just be plain old waffle.

If there are any topics you would like to see me cover over the coming months, please also reach out!

If you don't know much about me, you can find it all in my 'about me' section on LI, but to provide a quick summary:

• 18 years recruitment agency experience
• 7 years training and advising recruiters and agency owners
• Mum to a beautiful and slightly militant toddler gal
• Sydney sider, ocean lover, chardy drinker, over keen runner, classic type A over worker, ADHD owner/celebrator, english breakfast tea addict

I hope you will come along for the ride!
