What they like about Marks And Spencer Plc:
A hiring company that offers alternative approaches to pay, performance bonuses, and/or equity in the firm is very attractive to you. You're generally less interested in working for an organization offering only traditional, salary-based compensation, one with limited opportunity to acquire equity in the firm, or one that does not actively promote skill development. In addition, you are more likely to choose a company that offers a variety of internal career options, with defined career paths. You view the learning of new skills and development of your expertise as key to your career advancement. These aspects of an organization may become even more important to you as you progress in your field, and are especially critical if you change career or occupation.

Climbers' Joblogs at Marks And Spencer Plc:
Deep in the job hunt
So I'm applying what I know about information gathering and online research into my job hunt. I'm running about 35 different feeds into Google reader, running google alerts and tweetscans for keywords like: music jobs, digital media, etc. I have created god knows how many different profiles across various job sites and my daily routine still involves a lot of filtering through the opportunities that arrive in my inbox.I've been at this for 8 weeks now - I had my resume professionally re-written 3 weeks ago and it sure looks good but not getting many hits with it. I guess that being a hybrid of marketer and musician puts me in the "jack of all trades master of none" category - which could be disheartening if I wasn't so freakin optimistic.
My focus aside from the numbers game when it comes to the resume and cover letter deliveries is about getting out and meeting real life people - I'm using a combination of new tools like bright kite through twitter to meet people as well as signing up for local lists and meet ups. Target is to find a killer new position by Christmas that involves music or digital media in some way and that allows me to bring my creative and leadership skills to the fore.
