Dear Readers
Penny Cottee Secretarial newsletter editor Happy New Year! The team at DeskDemon Express would like to wish you all the very best for 2005, both in your personal, and in your professional life. Many of you will be thinking of taking that bold and exciting leap into a new job; while other readers will be responsible for recruiting you into that wonderful new job. So to give you some help, whatever your involvement with job-hunting and staff-hunting, we thought we'd devote this issue to the subject of recruitment, and we have some excellent articles for you packed with advice. We also have two new features this issue: an up-to-the-minute look at the new products, services, offers and events from DeskDemon's own website, and "Sound Off!", where we invite readers to tell us how it really is!

Say good-bye to interview jitters... John Lees has all the answers!

Book Cover It's something we all dread in interviews - those nasty, tricky questions that put you in a spin. "How do you define success?" or "What are your weaknesses?", or even "Do you want my job?" are all designed to test your reaction to being put on the spot. But there is a solution! Don't be put on the spot - be 100% prepared! Career expert John Lees' best-selling title "Job interviews - Top answers to tough questions" will give you all the ammunition you need to face those interviewers - you'll never be tongue-tied again. And we have 10 copies to give to DeskDemon Express readers FREE!
