Well, October has been a month that some of us would rather forget. I expect everyone has read countless articles on the state of the world's economies, various bailout packages and companies that we all thought were indestructible going belly up; Lehman etc

Here in Hong Kong there have been strong statements by the Chief Executive preparing us for whatever is to come. What are the likely effects on your business and how prepared are you for the downturn that everyone is talking about.

On a positive note, we have in the past weathered the Asian Financial crisis, SARS and will hopefully pass through this stormy period as well. As your staffing partner, having assisted you, for so many years, we are offering a special promotion, starting now to the end of the year. Please do call and talk to the Gemini Consultants.

We have changed the look of our newsletter, I hope you like it. Please send your comments via Contact Us page. There will be a prize for any letter(s) we publish!

I leave you with a thought from Ray Kroc:

"If you work just for the money, you'll never make it, but if you love what you're doing and you always put the customer first, success will be yours."
