Christmas Podding: Day 8 – Jokes, Jingles, and January Prep 🎄

Video

Welcome back to the We Do Grotto, where we’re keeping things festive with finance recruitment tips, questionable Christmas jokes, and classic holiday tunes.

First up, George’s topical Christmas joke:
What did the farmer get for Christmas?
A cow-culator.
We’ll let you process that one… 🐄 + 📊 = 🎅

Next, the big debate: favourite Christmas songs.

  • Michael Bublé’s Christmas album is the go-to for morning cheer – because Christmas is his finest hour.
  • Wham! Last Christmas is for the unapologetic cheese-lovers.
  • Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas Is You – no one does December domination better.
  • The Pogues’ Fairytale of New York – a timeless classic for late-night festivities.

But it’s not all fun and games – December is also the perfect time to prepare for a strong start in January. Here’s our advice for candidates:

  • Take a break. Rest, recharge, and spend time with loved ones.
  • Refresh your CV and LinkedIn. Update your profiles and get ready to stand out.
  • Get ready to hit the ground running. Use the quiet moments now to set yourself up for success in the new year.

Enjoy the holidays, but don’t lose sight of the opportunities January brings.
