Yes, you read that well. Finding a great tea time, complete with salty bits, requires time and patience. Needless to say I was thrilled when one of my favorite restaurants in Paris announced that they now offer a classic or boozy tea time. Breathe is not only a cosy spot, it’s also one of the…
The HR #3 : Enhancing your professional profile online
Has anyone ever explained how to update your LinkedIn page, or any other professional networks for that matter ?
