    Is it normal for recruitment agencies to ask for a photocopy of your passport? I have been invited to sign up to this recruitment agency, but to do that I need to upload a scan of my passport....and it is a bit unnerving to be sharing this information online. @Jessica Booker

    Speaking of office wear, what colours are appropriate? Obviously I know black, white, dark grey but would a pop of colour be appropriate? Is there anything I should avoid?

    If I am being asked to provide a "personal summary" that includes my skills, roles and achievements as well as the kind of person I am, with no word limit or other guidance, would you treat that as something similar to a cover letter?

    What would you say would be considered as a development? Does it have to be anything big or can it be something like attending commercial awareness events, completing online courses etc?
