very true - it only works if you put it into practice!

Agreed - it just takes a small amount of time now to start tracking, so in the future you'll have a clear idea of where you began and how far you've come.

Yes - we've built out pages for careers in Sales, Social Media, Editorial, Marketing & PR, and Bus Dev so far, and a few more (esp Engineering) are in the works.
