A HELPING hand to make as fresh career start is on offer from a Kent recruitment company.

Kelly Services' Maidstone branch in Pudding Lane has put together a New Year-New Career fact sheet aimed at showing local people how to succeed in the workplace.

The guide highlights the importance of finding the right job and asks questions to help people work out if they are in the right job, before offering helpful pointers on how to get the most suitable job.

Janet Phillips, branch manager, said: "The New Year is the best time to make a fresh start and our fact sheet provides some invaluable advice. The key to success at work is to make sure that you are in the right job to start with and then to build on your strengths."

She added: "There's no substitute for a good attitude and being in the right place at the right time. Seize every moment because you just don't know what opportunities could be around the corner."

To get a copy of the guide, pop into the branch, telephone 01622 686333 or visit the website www.kellyservices.co.uk

The branch also has details of temporary and permanent vacancies in the area.
