Get That Job! Overview
Only a generation ago, it seemed that people were quite happy to find a job and stick with it for life. But nowadays, not many of us manage to get the gold watch for long service and we chop and change jobs, and even careers, at the drop of a hat.
We also all expect a lot more form our work than our parents did: we want more than just money (although more of that is always welcome), we want flexi-time, cars, pensions, health care, free gyms, oh, and job satisfaction. We want to be happy and we want to enjoy our work. But finding the career and job that are right for you can be like searching for the Holy Grail.
'Get That Job' helps you think about what you really want from life and gives you the do's and don'ts of finding the right vacancy, writing a top CV and interviewing successfully. It is written by professionals with experience in personal and career development and provides you with the 'essentials' you need to make a real difference to your future.
