Good Prospect

Advantages: Luxury pampering
Disadvantages: Not suitable for disabled or small children

...A visit to Prospect Cottage is just the answer when you want to be pampered and enjoy magnificent countryside. I have stayed there twice now, once for only one night and once for six nights. The Cottage Prospect Cottage is a 17th Century Grade 2 listed building just one hundred yards from the centre of Northleach in the Cotswolds. Don?t be put off by being so near to the centre, as the town has been by-passed by the new A40 so very little traffic comes anywhere near! It has been given 4 stars and a silver award by the English Tourist Board and fully deserves them. The front door opens into the lounge which can be used by the guests. In winter there is always an open fire burning which adds to the warm welcome that is given by the hosts Gordon and Coralie Clifford. On arrival there will be a tray of tea or coffee served in...

Politics, Essays, Argument...

Advantages: Interesting, eclectic, decent short stories
Disadvantages: Relatively expensive, on occasion up its own proverbial

...? goes the byline of Prospect Magazine. Just my kinda thing then! I don't buy newspapers: I've no time for tabloids; The Telegraph is too rabid; The Times gets worse by the day; The Grauniad is too worthy, even for me; The Independent is just plain boring half the time. I get my news fix largely from Jon Snow and the Channel 4 website because I gave up with the BBC long before the current Hutton fiasco. The most interesting aspect of that shameful episode for me was that - at long last - the BBC was even thinking of challenging the establishment. I am interested in current affairs, though, and I do like to know what is going on, who is thinking what and why, and what intelligent people might make of it all. Enter Prospect. Current affairs journals tend, like newspapers, to have a political bias. As my views are generally...

Great Prospect

Advantages: Quick, skillful, tons of potential
Disadvantages: Still young, inexperienced

...Jensen Button is probably the best prospect for the future in F1. If he can continue to make strides forward as much as he has been this season, he will be world champion within 7 seasons easily. He has so much potential and is a true British Formula One racer. He will carry on from where Damon Hill stopped and win at least one championship in the next ten years. He is doing incredibly well this season considering it is his first season in the 'top league'. He will continue to improve as a driver and as a celebrity. He can only improve with more races under his belt. He is being loaned out next year to another team but Williams have got it spot on. He needs more experience but they don't want to lose him forever. A top driver has to climb up through F1 so Button will do this and I can;t wait until he is back up with a team...

Great prospects with Prospect-Us

Advantages: great setvice, nice consultants, interesting clien organsiations
Disadvantages: London only, not for everyone

...Finding the right agency to suit your needs can be a nightmare. I am not a big fan of the larger chains such as Kellys and Office Angles. They may be larger and might get more jobs but I often find them a bit impersonal. When I moved to the London area a few months ago I had the challenge of finding a good agency that I liked, trusted and would get me work. I sometimes find agencies difficult as my typing speed is not great (I am not a born secretary) and although there is legislation I am sure my eye sight (I am registered partially sighted) does hinder me. Luckily after a couple for months looking and contacting agencies I found one in central London who I am really happy and suit me to a tee. The agency in question is a small but long established agency called Pospect-Us Prospect-us specialises in the not for profit sector. Since...

Improve your Interview Prospects

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...Being interviewed for a new vacancy can be a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Perhaps the first thought is the happiness or for some the relief of having been invited for an interview and the knowledge that you have been considered as a potentially suitable candidate for the job. This can often give way to an overwhelming sense of anxiousness, self doubt, and fear of rejection should you not be deemed suitable. Don't worry help is at hand to ensure that you can excel when the day of the interview arrives. As an Ex Recruiter here are my hot tips for interview success; 1. Look Smart. It doesn't matter what type of job you are applying for any potential employer wants to know that you have made an effort at your interview and presentation is important for a number of reasons A) It shows courteous to a prospective employer...

Squad Assessment and Season Prospects

Advantages: Unlimited resources; Great strength in depth
Disadvantages: Few

...After doing a similar review of Manchester United and Arsenal it only seems fair that I should do one for Chelsea. Chelsea have made an exceptional start to the season and find themselves well placed in all competitions. It is a very expensively assembled squad and I don?t imagine that anyone at the club really cares what I think but for what it?s worth here is my assessment of the current squad, the season prospects and any future signings I think the club should consider. From the off I would like to say that I am not a Chelsea fan but I will try and be as neutral as possible when writing this review. ** The Squad Overview ** Since Roman Abramovich has got involved with Chelsea football club they have become the most important financial force in world football. In the last two years Chelsea have spent over 200 million pounds...

Review of Chelsea

Brilliant for finalists, OK for second jobbers

Advantages: Amazing amount of vacanices, good career advice, Fab email service
Disadvantages: sometimes too many emails, and a CV database that employers don't seem to search through.

...'ve never used this. The career advice is helpful, especially for graduates, who may not have a great idea of what to put on a CV or where to get started. The thing that really sets this site apart is the amount of graduate vacancies. As it is specifically targetted at graduates and finalists, many companies advertise in this (sometimes solely in this). This led to a whole range of industries and a large chance of eligibility. I remember I always got frustrated looking through the Guardian, finding only one or two vacancies a week at entry level. There is also a email service where Prospects will email you vacanices that match your requirements. Of course other sites like Reed.co.uk, also offer this service, but as there are more graduate vacancies, you have more chance of getting a suitable vacancy sent through to you. Also something...
