Fully appreciate your comment. I think this is obviously an innocent example of how two countries have different terminology for the same subject. PSL (Preferred Supplier List) is, as I have recently discovered, what you what you…"

Great memories of the past from my brain. Started 32 years ago and am still having fun! Think about it; we get paid to do what many of us have been doing our whole life. My fear of being fired as I transitioned from a salary job to a…"

I’ve been in the recruitment world for 15 years, and it’s fair to say that over 70% of the clients I deal with have a PSL, none of which has my name on the list. I also the clients that run strict PSL’s which I am…
