Back To Business

I attended the Back to Business Club in Peterborough last week, it is sponsored by the Greater Peterborough Partnership. It’s aim is to provide inspiration and motivation to managers and professionals recently made redundant.

There was an excellent presentation on Interim Management. What made it excellent, in my opinion, was that it was honest and gave a real down to earth, warts and all perspective of what it is like to work as an interim.

It successfully highlighted that most interim positions are found through your own network, rather than via an agency, and also the fact that you need to spend at least a third of your working week marketing/networking. It also highlighted the importance of knowing where your real strengths lie. It concluded with a practical five day plan for an interim.

I will be presenting at the Back To Business Club in the new year on the subject of interviews.
