Product Description
How does anyone make sense of work and career choice in times as tough as this?
This book encourages you to break out of a rut and start to make things happen in your career. Packed with practical tips for rejuvenating your career, this book is a must for anyone striking out into a difficult job market after redundancy or simply looking for new opportunities in tough times.
This book is designed to help you get out of a hole if you’re career-panicked, especially if you’re coping with redundancy. Section 1 – Taking Stock checks your thinking before you throw yourself into job search mode. Section 2 – Planning Your Strategy gives you insights into the way the market works and the way recruiters and employers react to the different behaviours adopted by job seekers. Section 3 – Your Message To The Marketplace provides a series of checklists to show you how to sell yourself on paper, including the reason why so many CVs and cover letters fail, and Section 4 – Interview Secrets reveals how to make an impact in the final stages of the selection process. Finally Section 5 – Looking Forward provides some longer-term career strategies.

(What's this?)
This book is clear and straight to the point. You can pay a fortune for this sort of advice (and I bet there are a few who are using this book as the basis for their courses!). The book doesn't take long to read, which is good because it's one that needs reading several times. It needs reading before every job application and every job interview.
The first thing I did was remove the words CURRICULUM VITAE from the top of my CV, 'it makes the document look very old fashioned'...true!

Format:Paperback
When my computer freezes, my lack of technical expertise means that I sometimes have to undertake a hard re-boot -which means turning off the power and starting the infernal thing once again. At that time I need it to get working quickly, I don't want to read an indepth operators manual or get bogged down in unnecessary detail - I simply need a quick, straightforward and uncluttered process to get me started again!
So if your Career has stalled, been interrupted by external or unforeseen challenges, or some company has turned the power off on your career as they turned out their own lights, then you need this book to help restart things for you -and quickly.
John Lees' ability to capture the key points of career transition and structure them in a very clear and straightforward way is to be admired and he should also be congratulated for keeping things tight, which is not easy when you have his level of knowledge and experience in career transition.
Yes there may be a thousand other questions you want to ask, but take the simple route - follow John's 24 top tips and then start looking at the finer points after you've got things back on track!
This book is a must and whole-heartedly recommend it. Probably the best value careers book on the market!

(What's this?)
This is a straightforward compilation of good and sensible advice that anyone can apply regardless of which phase of their job they are in. And though some of the rationale is insightful, most of it is actually nothing new! Though it sometimes helps to have someone reiterate the obvious, and being reminded of the basics is also necessary, I however struggle to identify whether it provides anything unique or presents anything in a different way or with more impact. It is though an easy and enjoyable read, and does serve as a helpful reminder not to get too set in our ways and that there is always something that we could do better.
