Focusing on your direction in life comes easy to some people and they know exactly what they want to do for a job, but for others, deciding on a career path can be one of the most daunting experiences of their lives.

This interactive book provides readers with an array of tools and ideas to help them prepare for and find interesting, stimulating employment (or self-employment). Both key skills (CV writing, job

searching etc.) and behavioural aspects (how to build rapport, how to conduct yourself in an interview etc.) are covered and blended together in a logical pathway to success. Also included in this book is a list of useful references and links to websites established to support you with your career choices.

The contents and exercises in the book are cross-referenced to the Gatsby Benchmarks so that teachers and careers specialists can use the stand-alone exercises in class and refer to the Gatsby code. As you progress through the book, please feel free to complete the many helpful exercises. However, if you do not wish to write in your book, then all of the exercises and blank tables are provided free as a resource pack.
