As parents, it’s natural to worry about your Gen Z children when they’re traveling abroad. While getting ripped off may feel like an unfortunate rite of passage for travellers, there’s a significant difference between overpaying for a ‘designer’ bag and having your money or belongings stolen. When your kids are overseas, it’s easy to feel […]

Will’s whole life has been about building things, from Lego blocks to carpentry to engineering, and things haven’t changed. Will’s the man behind the machinery. He’s the type of guy that looks at data, understands it, creates a funky info-graph and then explains it to you in a way that leaves you thinking “ahhh that makes sense!”

To be young is to have the world at your feet and this has never been as true as it is today. But for Generation Z and Millennials, this figure of speech could be better phrased as to have the world at your fingertips, and really the youth of today have both. They’ve got that […]

So your child says they’re ready to start looking for their first job (cries in proud parent). And that means it’s time to write their first resume. In case it’s been a while since you’ve written one of your own, resumes are a written summary of skills, qualifications and work-related experience. They’re an important tool […]
