Synopsis
Are you stuck in your current job Or are you frustrated by your lack of a job, or the lack of a life outside your job A mercifully waffle-free guide for post-Celtic Tiger times, this updated edition of the The Career Book is nothing short of a must-read for anyone either contemplating career transition or embarking on a career for the first time. Writing in a style that is direct, honest, empathetic, irreverent and fearlessly clich-busting, Jane Downes, one of Ireland's leading career coaches, introduces her unique Disappointer/Appointer system, helping you to understand those aspects of your personality that help, and hinder, your career progression. She then guides you through the practical process of designing and realising a better future for yourself, covering topics such as transferable skills, CVs, interviews, job research, redundancy, recession and work life balance. A new feature is a section containing 10 top tips for students, covering areas like work experience, making the best of university careers services and postgraduate study. The Career Book doesn't just help you find a job, it helps you realise your career potential and create a more fulfilling life.
