About the Book

Do you feel your career needs a kick-start? Do you want to learn what motivates you and to know where you are going next?

The world of work is changing fast and the 'job for life' is a long forgotten myth. 'Employability' has become the key word in a competitive world of short term contracts and frequent career changes. People today must be flexible in the skills and attributes they bring to the labour market

This book, perceptively written and full of practical advice, tells you exactly what employability means and how to achieve it. Written to appeal to the broadest spectrum of readers, it will prove invaluable whether you are starting out on your career, returning to work, looking to change direction or coping with redundancy or early retirement. Learn to understand your motivations and grow confident in what you have to offer.
