Drawing on 25 years' experience of training recruiters and his work as one of the UK's best known career strategists, John Lees presents the latest, updated edition of How To Get A Job You'll Love, the definitive careers guide for the UK market. This book not only helps readers answer the question 'what kind of work would suit me best?' but shows them how to overcome personal constraints, explore and connect with relevant people, and land a job that feels worth doing at least three days out of five. It is a practical guide that helps readers to identify their passions and motivators, and release their hidden skills and potential. Lees then demonstrates how to apply these to our professional and personal lives, in order to make the way we spend our waking hours more creative, more meaningful and more enjoyable. Its focus is not on job change for its own sake. Quite simply, the aim is to make connections between one's natural creativity and the way we plan our life's work.A new preface by an industry expert, Dick Bolles, author of What Colour is Your Parachute New ideas on career resilience keeping up energy levels and confidence in a sustained down period A revised introductory chapter that takes account of the continuing difficulties of the job market and what careers actually mean in today's work of work.
