From the Author
I was inspired to write "36 Steps" when I first started working with groups of people who had been redundant in 1990.
It is often a major"life-event" such as redundancy or divorce, that triggers people into taking stock of what they want to get out of life. But it doesn't have to be. What's needed is the determination that you want the best out of life.
It sounds hackneyed, but "life isn't a rehearsal"....it happens in "real time". I'm a firm believer that to get the best out of life, you need to take control of your own destiny.
My objective was to produce a "self-managed" personal development programme in a book, which would help people to take stock of what they really want out of life. By using the exercises and techniques, you'll identify what makes you special, you'll set your own career and life goals and you'll learn about techniques which can help you to get the job you want.
Prior to writing the book I was Head of Personnel in the UK for Bristol Myers & Clairol and have taught Human Resource Strategies at Masters level. In "36 steps" I've blown the whistle on many techniques that are used by personnel managers, so that you can use them in your jobsearch.
The book contains everything you'll need to draw-up your career and life plan and the techniques to help you get the job you want: from personality profiling and career-life balance exercises, to practical tips on how to write a cv and letters of application, access the unadvertised job market, use positive body language and how to make a presentation.
I now work as a management consultant and run outplacement workshops for organisations, based on my book. If I can help in your organisation, please E-mail me.
It gives me a tremendous buzz, when I hear from people who have attended a workshop or who have bought my book and used the techniques to land a job. Like Peter for instance, a Manager who had been unemployed for a year. Peter had applied for hundreds of jobs, without success. After using one technique from "36 Steps", he landed a job within a week. Or Heather, a school leaver who followed the advice in "36 Steps.." and got the first job she applied for, as a trainee Veterinary Nurse.
If you have used "36 Steps" to help you get the job you wanted, I'd love to hear from you.
Add "36 Steps" to your shopping cart and you'll receive a toolkit of techniques that will help you to change your life.
Good luck with your jobsearch and remember "Today is the first day of the rest of your life"!
Kind regards
Malcolm Hornby

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 Bahamut Media, Wallingford, United Kingdom, 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.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
