You're Hired! How To Get Employed - Tim Guest - Bog

Finding your way in life and work is getting increasingly tough. The chance of getting wellpaid and secure work seems like a distant dream for most. But it's not impossible. This book is about giving you the tools you need to succeed, whether it's getting temporary work while you figure out what to do or help you get that first foot on the job ladder. This book is aimed at people looking for employment. Let's take 15 to 18-year-olds who are still at school. Do you get your GSCEs and think, right, let me go and apply for a job now? No, you start by asking yourself questions like: How do I write a CV? How do I behave in interviews? They need to enter the market with these things already written, so they know how to apply for jobs, know how to be interviewed, know how to ask questions, and what to do if you are offered the job. The advice also applies to people who've never been in paid employment. Or individuals who don't have access to the necessary resources that would allow them to complete their own CVs and job applications, let alone tell them how to go about it. I hope the book will be helpful, accessible and tell readers everything they need to know about how to look for jobs, write a CV and covering letter, what to do in interviews, how to follow up with prospective employers, and a range of other skills people need to get themselves into paid employment.
