Welcome to Monster Telecoms

Hello and welcome to Monster's new newsletter that concentrates solely on telecommunications. Our aim is to show you into how this ever-growing industry recruits, what it's like to work in and clues on how to progress your career within it.

In this issue we lead with a feature on convergence – its drivers and the opportunities it offers – and get a revealing insight from a top executive at BT into who they recruit and how. We also hold an interesting debate between two broadband experts as to whether the demand for super-fast broadband will result in a recruitment boom. Lastly, we catch up on some of those news stories and features that you might have missed – but should have read! But if telecoms isn't your speciality, you can always sign up to another Monster Industry newsletter that's more relevant to you.
