What's going on?

Hello All,

The Mole has been super busy over the last few weeks and a lot has been happening, which we here at Mole HQ are very excited about. We're been working hard on some great new features to improve the site and make it even faster and easier to use. We are also in several discussions with potential partners that will bring a number of benefits to our members...

It's fantastic to see and hear from members that how useful it has been for them to speak to Moles about their company and what it's really like to work there. We will shortly be starting up a testimonials section so if you've found TheCareerMole useful and would like to contribute please get in touch.

In the meantime, good luck with your job applications

Even more exciting; we are also in the process of onboarding a number of employers members on to MoleResourcing.com.
