She starts by exploring why you might want a new role and shows you how to get really focussed on your search so that you don’t just jump from the frying pan into the fire! Della shares her own story and uses a variety of exercises and case studies to help you explore your own thinking and make decisions about what you really want. You’ll be able to:
- Understand your values and what drives you
- Reflect on your work-life balance, what it is and what you want it to be
- Visualise what your dream role really looks like
- Focus your job search for maximum effect and least effort
- Build your confidence so you can be your best self at interview
The pandemic hit us all for six when it landed in 2020. By March, most of the world was in a lockdown situation. At first there was shock, panic (panic buying of many toilet rolls), worry and fear. Then, slowly, as we started to get used to this enforced period of staying at home without a commute, of spending more time with our families, of focussing on the things that really mattered, we started to question what had gone before.
Why were we living in this rat race of commuting, of racing out of the door to pick up our kids, of presentism, trying to prove that by being in the office for longer hours we were somehow achieving more? Why were we spending more time with our colleagues than with our families? Why not get a dog and get outside for our daily exercise? Why not take up that hobby with the two hours that would normally be spent on the packed 18.03 out of Euston? Why not indeed?
And then when the ‘return to office’ plans started to emerge different businesses had different approaches. Some said, ‘Work where you like – we trust you’, some said, ‘We’d like you back in the office because we can see the benefits of collaboration, but you can choose what works’, and others said, ‘We want you back in, we want to see you, we want you back in on these days, no matter what’.
And suddenly there was a realisation that perhaps we didn’t all want to work how our organisations were telling us to work. Perhaps we didn’t want to go back. Perhaps we wanted to go forward with some new way.
Certainly, the reflection time that the last two years have provided has given many of us space to think, time to breathe. Time to wake up and smell the coffee. Time to focus on what we really want in life and from work.
We have seen how a hybrid, more flexible approach to work can be. We’ve seen it, we’ve lived it and many of us have liked it. Whatever your reason for looking for a job you really want, there are choices out there. There are more choices than before – as businesses start to rework their recruitment strategies, look at their benefits packages and focus on culture as a major driver for retention.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
