Have you thought about specialising in a particular type of party treat? - cupcakes are hugely popular at the moment...

I like this idea and would personally by something if it came in a nicely packaged presentation box, i.e. 2 champagne glasses engraved with names and wedding date as a wedding gift. I'd pay approx £25 for this if it included the champagne glasses. If people brought their own glasses, I'd be happy to pay 7.50 to 12 to get it engraved. Hope this helps!

Oldboy, Lady Vengeance and A Tale of Two Sisters - All great films. I a particularly recommend Old Boy.

Armageddon - awful, just plain awful.

If you have it, Microsoft Office 2010 (in fact any of the Microsoft Offices) offers some great templates including CVs. If not, there are some great downloads on the internet e.g. http://career-advice.monster.co.uk/cvs-applications/free-cv-templates/jobs.aspx If he is a school leaver, a skills based CV may be better for him, with the focus on things like team building, initiative etc, eg. http://career-advice.monster.co.uk/cvs-applications/free-cv-templates/cv-template-classic-skill/article.aspx

Bit of a cliche, but how about a 'The Full Monty' DVD?

I also suggest he gets a website, its amazing how many people use the web to search for tradespeople these days, yet many aren't on the web. A good way to get new customers if there's little online competition _________________ Owner, Last Minute Hotel http://www.last-minute-hotel.co.uk

I agree with the other comments, she should definately give her CV to local recruitment agencies, though she may find it difficult to get a foot in the door without any experience. It would be wise to be looking at work experience to build up the experience to get a job if she is committed to a particular career. However, if she has trouble finding work as a receptionist she may want to find some volunteer experience doing this from a website like doit.org and then try applying for jobs _________________ Owner, Last Minute Hotel http://www.last-minute-hotel.co.uk

Try 'Noagenciesplease', posting an ad/project on here is free last time I looked and I know many reputable developers who look at it to find work...

Have you tried Job Rapido? The search function allows you to enter job titles and skills too, which is nice touch and makes it easier to find jobs, now many employers are using such generic job titles!

Still, I think its a shame that Business Link is closing. The Government will replace it with a website and call centre? what does this mean exactly? Sounds a bit impersonal to me.

Have you tried Granelli's on Broad Street, just off Park Square roundabout? Haven't been down there for a while but last time I checked they had an amazing selection of old fashioned sweets

Are you sure there is a definate calling for your forum? Setting up a website is one thing but creating a forum is something else. This involves a lot more investment of both time and money, let alone promotion to attract users to your forum. I would suggest setting up the site first, attracting traffic and then setting up a forum. _________________ Owner, Last Minute Hotel http://www.last-minute-hotel.co.uk
