Synopsis

Job hunting. It's time consuming, it's hard work and it's very stressful. What kind of job do I really want? Where should I start looking? Is my CV up to scratch? Do I need to go to a recruitment agency or should I apply direct? Where are the jobs in that sector advertised? Which are the best online jobsites? How do I make sure I do well in the interview when I finally get one? And how do I cope if I don't? This is the no waffle, no fuss guide for the smart job hunter. It's a complete start-to-finish manual, from writing your CV, to where to look for jobs, interview techniques and how to negotiate a job offer. It covers all elements of job hunting in practical detail in one concise informative guide, and provides a straightforward and honest look at the recruitment market in the UK.

About this title

From the Author:

In my role as an employment consultant I was in a position to offer career advice and counselling to individuals who I dealt with as part of my work, but what help did everyone else out there get? Surely there must be a book that I could recommend to people that would provide them with a comprehensive guide to everything they wanted to know about getting the job they wanted.
I looked at many different publications and found that they concentrated on only one or two parts of the job search, were heavily biased towards an American audience, or more importantly, were written by individuals who had very little in common with the majority of job hunters today.
I set out with the task of drawing together all of my experience in the recruitment market with my knowledge of the way this industry really works, to compile a book which would arm you the job hunter, with as much information and advice as possible to go out there confidently and get the job you want.
Whether you are a school leaver, graduate or seasoned professional I guarantee that The Brilliant Job Hunter's Manual will provide you with everything you want to know about job hunting in the UK.
