Product details

Jenner splits her book into three sections. The first section looks at choosing work which best suits your character, with useful advice on how to carry out a personal skills and knowledge audit and a very interesting chapter on different personality types. In the second, Jenner presents an informative overview of the 21st-century job market, before going on to discuss how you find a firm whose ethos and work practice match your own ideals. The third section is practical, chock-full of tips on writing "a brilliant CV", "how to succeed at interviews" and "how to succeed at selection tests", complete with worked, then test-yourself, examples.
One of Jenner's strengths is that, as a visiting lecturer in Human Resources at UMIST, she knows her audience well. She makes frequent reference to the fact that she realises her readers are probably third years, struggling to complete assessed course work, with scant time to compose CVs, but stresses that as little as an hour a week spent job hunting can make all the difference between a hurriedly-accepted job on the milkround, which soon goes sour, and an altogether sweeter experience with the right employer. --Amanda Cameron
"The graduate employment market is increasingly crowded... job hunters need to be well informed and highly skilled to get to the front of the queue."

Lots of tips for applying for jobs (and finding ones not advertised). If you are lucky to be called in for interview/assesment lots of information on how to prepare. Found this very useful and it helped me to get my graduate job.
