We have recently issued this press release highlighting our latest findings about office romances. Take a read here....
We have all watched an office romance brew, develop, fizzle out or indeed last. With them being such a common act in the workplace and Valentine’s Day around the corner, TipTopJob investigates how office romances end up.
TipTopJob surveyed over 1000 users to find out if office romances ended in long term love, a short term fling, they were left as friends or if it was the end of a once friendship. 52% of people have witnessed an office romance end in a fairy-tale with long term love and the couple remaining together happily.
The survey also found that a quarter witnessed short term flings, slightly more (23%) ended in an amicable friendship and 17% sadly saw the end a friendship all together.
Spokesperson, Corinne at TipTopJob commented, “Office romances are not uncommon. It is important if you are getting involved in such a romance that it is handled correctly as you do not want to end up without a job. It is easy to become unfocused when you are falling for someone. We have some tips in our Career Centre should you want some advice on dealing with a blossoming office romance yourself to make sure you handle it in the best way!”
Our latest press release has been issued today which is titled, "Majority take it upon themselves to make CV Tip Top". Here is the full press release......
Two thirds of people rely on themselves to update their CV, a recent study has found. This may involve an individual updating it on their own accord or using the Internet to research the necessary steps.
The study asked over 1,000 jobseekers what kind of help they have received in their most recent update of their CV.
A third of the respondents had paid to use a professional service. With many organisations around today who will charge a small amount to review and update a CV, it is quick, easy and affordable to use this option. Some even offer a free CV review which can used as a guide to improve what is already there. Only 9% turn to friends and family to seek similar help.
Corinne Hutchinson from TipTopJob, states, “Whether you are seeking help from someone else or not, it is important to take time to update your CV regularly and do it well. Updating your CV shows recruiters what your latest skills and experiences are and shows you are keen to find new employment….right now! The main advice here is to not leave your CV for too long without updating it. This also applies to Linkedin profiles. In fact, it is even more important to keep these details updated given they are so publicly available.”
In the latest survey results released by National Hug Your Boss Day in association with TipTopJob.com, 71% of European workers admit to swearing at their boss. This is in strike contrast to those surveyed in Asia where only 10% admitted to it.
The survey quizzed employees across 5 Continents around the world. 52% in America admitted to using bad language in front of their boss, 23% in Australia and 13% in Africa.
As well as surveying global employees, the UK was split into territories. Employees in London & The South of England were the most rude with 82% admitting to swearing at their boss! Those in the North were the second most bad-mannered employees with 62% selecting YES followed by 61% in Scotland. Only 30% in the East swore, 42% in Wales, 54% in the West and 55% in Ireland. Could this be related to the longer hours’ people in London work and the more stress they are put under do you think?
National Hug Your Boss Day was created in 2008 by TipTopJob.com to promote healthy working relationships. It is being celebrated this year on Friday 4th September and calls for colleagues and managers to simply catch a hug on camera and share it! Corinne Hutchinson comments, “With most of your waking hours spent at work with colleagues and managers, we feel that it is best to create a happy environment to encourage morale and motivation which in turn will increase productivity in the workplace. Do not forget to get involved on the 4th and help promote this worthy cause.”

theExMILITARYjob’s research into ex-military family, careers and employees have found in their latest survey that 56% of companies do not currently employ ex-military personnel into their organisations showing that there could be a lot more done by everyone to help our ex-military back to work.
17% of companies have employed 1 or 2, 7% have employed 3 to 5, 4% have employed 6 to 10 but on a more positive note, 16% have employed more than 10. Although this 16% is extremely positive, the 56% is a huge figure and shows that more organisations could be doing their bit to help the campaign we are heading up.
As well as looking at how many ex-military are being employed into companies, we asked several other questions. One investigated family relations who had served in the military of which 37% had had a family member serve at one time and another looked into if anyone knew “anyone” else who had served in the military and is currently looking for work. 46% responded saying YES they did! This stat shows that there are a lot of ex-military out there looking for a new career after returning from service.
We want to help bridge this gap between the number of companies employing ex-military staff and those ex-military personnel looking to find a job/career. This is where theExMILITARYjob.com comes in and we want to encourage companies to recruit ex-military into their roles by posting jobs on to the site and we want to match these to the ex-military jobseekers. Stuart Rea comments, “As an ex-military serviceman myself, I know how hard it is to settle back into civilian life. We are all very passionate here about making this work and helping in every way we can! We are pleading with companies out there to post their jobs.”

TipTopJob and theExMILITARYjob.com have recently teamed up with UK Homes 4 Heroes and are supporting the Forces’ Motorsport Charity, Mission Motorsport, by providing placements and re-training for soldiers, sailors and airmen. The theExMILITARYjob.co was created in order to Help our Heroes back to work, as we know first-hand just how difficult it is transitioning from the Forces to Civvy Street.
Now that British Troops have been withdrawn from Afghanistan, and with the size of the UK Forces decreasing until 2020, there is an opportunity to assist our wounded, injured and sick as well as regular servicemen and women find second careers and a new life after their lives in the Services. We have a duty of care to Help our Troops back to work that bit quicker and that is what we are doing with a website devoted to their employment needs.
TipTopJob created www.theExMILITARYjob.com and have engaged with businesses nationwide to get the website not only populated with job opportunities but also with commitments to retrain our troops to help them transition to mainstream civilian life.
Leading by example, TipTopJob and theExMILITARYjob.com have offered placements to wounded, injured and sick personnel in their own TTJ head office in sales and administrative roles as career stepping stones to being placed into permanent roles anywhere in the 83 countries where we are present.
Mike Dauncey, Chief Executive of TipTopJob states, “Action is required and action is what is being taken by TipTopJob, leading by example. theExMILITARYjob.com will be providing free recruitment job advertising on the jobsite – no strings attached – and are encouraging everyone and anyone to get involved in this worthy cause to recruit one of the many ex-forces into an apprentice role, temporary, contract or permanent placements. ”
Major James Cameron, Founder and CEO of Mission Motorsport, “We are delighted that TipTopJob and www.theExMILITARYjob.com are providing such quality support to ex forces personnel and great to know that such a passionate organisation are actively promoting opportunities for our guys and girls. The fact that they are also offering opportunities within their own company is a true measure of their commitment to this initiative”.
