If I cant connect with talent, I cant recruit talent. If I cant recruit talent, I cant grow my business.

Perfect candidate. Currently developing a social media strategy for own organisation and needing to explore cutting edge ideas. Never been to Melbourne either hint hint!

I can drink my own body weight in Syrah and sing waltzing matilda in a Victorian accent so I can blend in. That aside I am researching "talent tech burn" the overloading of information points and the desire to re engage at a personal level and how we can actually use technology to be the facilitator not the venue- similar to the Slow food movement but without the cheese

This has been a "hot topic" in my team for months and we're now ready to put it into practice - this would be a great opportunity to learn from those in the know!

Thanks for your entries. The competition is now closed. Suzanne will read through the entries tonight. In my eyes you are all winners, despite some rebellious over 25 word behaviour, but it's in Suzanne's hands now.

Who needs rules anyway - my personal grievance is in the post :-)
