A friend of mine is considering an overseas move. But he is completely clueless how to go about this in a methodical way. Don’t get me wrong. He’s a genius at selling anything. He could sell "coals to Newcastle." In fact he suggested that half seriously when he first told me about this idea.

He came to me because he’s still learning his way around the Internet. (I know. He’s a throw-back.) So to shortcut this whole process for him, I did a search for sales recruitment firms in the UK. That clued me in to the term sales recruitment consultant.

Now we’re talking! He needs a consultant - someone he can talk to, who can walk him through this process and help him negotiate this unfamiliar territory, both figuratively and literally.

He’s now got three interviews set up for next week. Glad I got my passport updated, because to thank me for my help, he’s invited me along. Big Ben, here I come! Pip-pip, cheerio and all that rot.
