However there are constructive options to use older workers experience in either a reduced hours role or in a lesser paid job with the option of some form of early retirement payment from their pension scheme. The best payroll manager I ever had was an ex-HR director who found the job a lot less stressful. There is an assumption that youth is the only way to go -perhaps true for innovation but sometimes an old head that has seen it all before can be good to have on the team.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Davidg</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 12 May 2012 10:08:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: 'Madonna' types ruling the workplace - Management Today</title><link>http://www.managementtoday.co.uk/features/1127604/madonna-types-ruling-workplace/#comment-527140931</link><description>&lt;p&gt;I think unemployment ratio is going up then the employment not only for women but also for the men.   &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Discounted Madonna Tickets </dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 12 May 2012 07:27:40 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: US bank JPMorgan has 'egg on face' after $2bn trading loss</title><link>http://www.managementtoday.co.uk/news/1131422/Oops-JP-Morgan-reveals-2bn-mistake/#comment-526473005</link><description>&lt;p&gt;So, American incompetence is AGAIN going to downsize my pension!&lt;br&gt;God Bless America!&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Norman Sadler</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 11 May 2012 12:49:56 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Clintons expected to go into administration</title><link>http://www.managementtoday.co.uk/go/news/article/1130905/clinton-cards-expected-go-administration/#comment-525362631</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Really not too surprised as their cards are so terribly expensive!!!

I felt like I was drowning in a sea of unanswered or rejected CVs and cover letters after I graduated. I worked several different stints of work experience for zero money (although I know that they were very useful in the end) and then worked a huge number of waitressing shifts to make up for the lack of money in between. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It has taken me up until now to finally gain the job I have been waiting for - lucky it was now too because the job market is about to be flooded with more graduates. I think it's very important to try and gain a sense of what you really want to do and then target that market specifically. If you're applying for jobs all over the place, the chances are that you won't sound genuinely sincere about really wanting to work in that area. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Anyone looking for inspiration might want to have a quick read of my blog about the ups and downs I went through after university. It's a fun series of posts! &lt;a href="http://gutsy-grad.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://gutsy-grad.blogspot.co....&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">GutsyGrad</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 03 May 2012 05:35:29 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: UK: Baronet with a taste for cold steel. - Leadership, business and management news, tips and features from MT and Management Today magazine</title><link>http://www.managementtoday.co.uk/news/409120/UK-Baronet-taste-cold-steel/?DCMP=ILC-SEARCH#comment-516841298</link><description>&lt;p&gt;The two types of headgears are purely Scottish, namely the Glengarry and&lt;br&gt; the Balmoral.
