Mobile Europe? Not a chance!

I'm about to set off for another journey through Europe and was again reminded how integrated Europe really is. Not!

As a self declared tech junkie, I don't go anywhere without my iPhone and laptop. In the UK, where I live, this is not a problem. My iPhone contract and my laptop modem allow me to connect to the internet whenever I want and download as much as I want without incurring great costs.

Try that when you're traveling through Europe. The first time I went abroad with my iPhone I ended up with a fairly hefty bill as O2, my iPhone supplier, likes to charge huge amounts for very little. On subsequent visits to Europe I therefore had to restrict myself to sporadic use, no data roaming and frantic searching for open WiFi connections.

I had one option to limit the cost and that was to buy a PAYG sim card in every country I went to. That was not just a pain in the butt as it took time to sort out the best deal, but given the number of countries I tend to travel to I would end up with a wallet full of sim cards.

Ten Top Tips for moving abroad

So, you found yourself a new job in another European country. What you hadn't thought through were all the things you needed to sort out. You don't want to be taxed twice, you want to be legal and you want to live in a nice place.

Experience the new culture beforehand and check if you (and your family) will be happy in this new environment.

2. Be prepared for everything that could go wrong. Other countries have different ways of going about things. Paperwork can take eons to sort out, especially in Mediterranean countries. Don't assume that you'll be able sort things out straight away. Ask locals how to do things and who to talk to if (and you will) have problems with paperwork. If possible, make sure you have sufficient money to see you through the first few months at the very least (preferably longer). And for that you'll need to...

To enhance or not to enhance your CV, that's the question!

I don't know if it's the recession or if people are propping up their CV's for other reasons, but more and more CV's seem to be enhanced over time into more glossy copies of earlier versions. We come across candidates who have submitted a more recent CV and these versions differ a lot from earlier versions.

I noticed that entries on CV's have changed, sometimes dramatically. People who used to be called a receptionist are now called customer communications specialist. Marketing managers have become marketing directors, project managers are all of sudden project directors, etc. 

People have obviously realised that a great looking CV attracts more attention. But...... do you need to alter your CV in such a way that this changes the reality?
