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- ola830

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?- ola830

Guys, would you put non-paid roles under "previous employment" section in an application. I have done a few non-paid roles e.g. at a legal advice centre, but I don't know if this will be seen as "employment".- ola830

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? Most likely I would be re-applying again to firms and I want to show development but I just don’t know what...- ola830
