Editor’s note
=============
Euphrosene Labon sparked an explosive debate on the relevant
merits of the application form over the CV this week. Numerous
postings later it is clear that this is an area in which you all
hold strong views.
Nik Kellingley hates application forms and sees them as nothing
more than ‘the lazy HR department’s dream’ while Karen Baldwin
applauds them for providing a platform in which ‘apples can be
compared with apples’. So what do you think? We’d like to hear
your views and thoughts on this and indeed whether
discrimination laws will finally signal the death of the
Curriculum Vitae.

Maximizing your training investment
/—————————————————————
Organisations invest millions of pounds providing training in
the hope of developing people to their full potential. Sadly,
the best training in the world won’t make a difference if there
isn’t a process in place to create sustainable results. This
paper discusses the critical success factors involved in
creating an effective training plan.
