Teaching ESOL in Somerset?

There’s a free, interactive “Safe and Practical AI for ESOL” webinar on 6 March at 2:30 pm, open to anyone supporting English language learners across the county.

Led by Oksana Logvynenko (CulturaLinks Cic), the session will explore how AI can be used safely and meaningfully in ESOL settings, from GDPR‑aware tools to practical classroom ideas and live demos you can use straight away.

It’s also a great chance to connect with the Somerset ESOL Network and meet others teaching or supporting ESOL locally.

To book, email programmes@somersetrcc.org.uk

«Та я тут ненадовго...» або «Я ж просто на складі/в клінінгу, які там права?» 🛑
Новий закон Employment Rights Act 2025 написаний саме для того, щоб захистити тих, хто працює на складах, у догляді (care), на фермах чи в готелях. Саме ваші права зараз посилюються найбільше!
Вас більше не зможуть звільнити «просто так», бо менеджер не в гуморі.
Ви зможете отримувати лікарняні з першого дня, а не чекати дива.
Ви нарешті зможете планувати своє життя, а не чекати дзвінка «є сьогодні робота чи немає».
Це стосується кожного, хто працює в Британії. Навіть якщо ви плануєте бути тут ще місяць. Навіть якщо ви не ідеально знаєте мову.
Приходьте, розберемо все по поличках. Просто, зрозуміло і без складних термінів.
🗓 Коли: 16 березня
Час: 18:00 (UK Time)
📍 Де: Wells, Portway Annexe Wells Welcome Hub
Не будьте «невидимками». Знайте свої права!

Your CV is getting rejected before anyone reads it.
Not because you're not good enough. Because most companies now use ATS software - Applicant Tracking Systems - to scan and filter applications automatically. If your CV isn't formatted the right way, it gets binned before a human ever sees it.
This Friday I'm running a free one-hour webinar where we're talking about exactly this. What ATS systems actually do, why good CVs get rejected, and how to use AI to write one that gets through.
It's free. It's one hour. And it might be the most useful thing you do this week.

📅 Friday 10 April · 6:00–7:00 pm · Online

👋 Quick heads up — on Thursday I'm running a FREE webinar and it's a bit of a big deal.

The Employment Rights Act 2025 is now law in the UK — and it's bringing some of the biggest changes to workers' rights we've seen in years.
Some of it is already in force. Some of it lands in 2027. And honestly, most people — whether they're employers or employees — have no idea what any of it actually means for them.

So on Thursday evening I'm breaking it all down in plain English. No legal jargon, no 200-page documents. Just an honest, one-hour walkthrough of what's changed, what's coming, and what you need to do about it.
It's free. It's online. You can join from your sofa. 🛋

📅 Thursday 23 April 2026

💷 From £199 · Certificate included

And while most of the headlines are about what's coming in 2027 - the unfair dismissal shake-up, fire and rehire restrictions, zero-hours reforms, there's quite a lot that's already in force right now. As of April 2026.
Sick pay from day one. Paternity leave as a day-one right. Protective awards doubled. A brand new enforcement agency with real teeth. And a record-keeping requirement that, if you miss it, is a criminal offence.
This Thursday, 23 April, I'm running a free one-hour webinar breaking all of it down - what's in force now, what's coming next, and what you actually need to do to prepare.

It's free. It's one hour. And if you work in HR, run a business, or just want to know your rights as an employee, you'll want to be there.

Last week was one of those days 🫣😁

We had everything ready. Slides. Plan. People coming.

And then… projector died.

Just like that.

So we ended up running the whole session from a phone and a flipchart.

Honestly? It worked better than expected.

People stayed. Asked questions. Shared their stories.

Sometimes it’s not about perfect setup.
It’s about showing up and making it work.

That’s basically our motto now.

“Tell me about yourself.”

Simple question.
Still one of the hardest in UK interviews.

Most people either:
– go too direct
– give a full life story
– or freeze completely

The tricky part is not the answer.
It’s understanding what the question really means here.

UK interviews are less about facts.
More about how you present them.

This is exactly the kind of thing that confused me when I first moved here.
And one of the reasons I ended up writing about it in my book.

Once you see the pattern, it becomes much easier.

Job searching in the UK can feel… strange.

You apply.
You wait.
You get polite responses that don’t really mean anything.

“We’ll let you know.”
“We had a strong pool of candidates.”
“Not quite the right fit.”

It’s not always about your experience.

It’s about:
– how you position yourself
– how you communicate
– how well you understand the unwritten rules

This is something we cover a lot in our sessions.
And also something I’ve written about quite openly from my own experience.

You don’t need to guess your way through it.

Pensions. Yeah, I know — not exactly the topic that sets your group chat on fire 😄

But here's the thing: most of us have no clue how the UK pension system actually works until we're already in it. And by then, it's a bit late to ask the simple questions.
So next Tuesday we're sitting down together to go through it. Properly. In plain English.
What you'll walk away knowing:

How the State Pension actually works (and how much you'd get)
Workplace pensions — what your employer is doing with your money
What to do if you've worked in different countries, or you're planning to leave the UK
The bits people usually find out too late

Sometimes it is. Sometimes it quietly ruins your chances.
Most people don’t realise the difference.

So we’re breaking it down. No jargon. No hype. Just what actually works.
You’re Using AI Wrong… And It Might Be Costing You Opportunities

What we’ll cover:
• Why AI-written CVs often get ignored
• The small mistakes that make a big difference
• How to use AI without sounding like everyone else
• What actually helps you stand out
