Hey, Legends! This week, we’ve got a treat for you – the return of Jono Conley, the Director of Concise Recruitment, who rocked our podcast last year with one of the top five episodes! We go way back, so this episode has more of a matey vibe. Ignore any tech hiccups (such as ‘Frank’ my dog barking at a delivery driver) – just two mates having a chat. We delve into the past 12 months, offer a sneak peek into what 2024 might unfold, and share insights on career moves, CV crafting, and the crucial trait of resilience, in building a great career CV.
