Careers: When is the right time to move?

drapersonline.com — As the economy has floundered, opportunities for internal growth have been increasingly scarce. So, to fast-track career progression, jumping from company to company has become more common. But jump too often and you'll come across as flighty and not a good long-term development prospect. "We live in an age where wages haven't grown for four years in this country," explains the founder of recruitment firm HGA Group, Harveen Gill. "Most people haven't had rises in many sectors, including our own. Where wages have stopped rising in this country, the only way to increase them is to move."

Viewpoint: Is Lululemon growing too fast?

www.just-style.com — Since 2009, active wear brand Lululemon Athletica has seen profits soar, regularly increasing its guidance after better than expected performances. But, is the recall of its black Luon pants a sign that the brand is growing too quickly? Lululemon has warned that it may lose sales of around US$20m during its first-quarter after issues with a key fabric used in its leggings forced it to withdraw some of the products. The retailer said certain shipments of its black Luon pants, arriving in store from 1 March, did not meet its technical specifications and were sheerer-than-expected.
