IT’S A BALANCING ACT

Honesty and Kindness.

Jobseekers need to know the truth, but they don’t want it rammed down their throat.

You also don’t want to be lied to.

It’s far too easy for us to tell you that things are looking up. It would be easier to tell you that everything is going to be alright.

But we can’t do that, because we can’t predict the future.

We believe that the right thing to do is to be honest. We also believe that it is kinder to help you deal with the actual situation, rather than pretending that you don’t need to put in the work.

Plenty of people don’t want to hear the truth.

We respect that.

Plenty of people want things to go back to normal. But that’s not the way that life works.

If you prefer truth, honesty and kindness then stick around, because that’s what we believe in. #

Sometimes that truth might hurt, but that’s just a fact of life.
