Now in its fourth edition, this indispensable guide helps students
to create their own personal development programme and build the
skills and capabilities today's employers want. Step by step, it
takes students from the initial stages of setting goals and
defining success through to the application process for their dream
job. Part 1 prompts students to think about what 'success' means to
them and to think more deeply about what matters to them, what
inspires them, and what will help them to achieve their long-term
ambitions. This section also helps students to better manage their
time, energies and resources so that they can achieve the kind of
success they want. Part 2 shows students how to refine their people
and task management skills, enabling them to become the effective
communicators and problem-solvers that today's employers want. Part
3 develops students' creative and reflective thinking, thereby
strengthening students' academic and professional abilities. Part 4
helps readers to reflect on what employers really want from job
applicants and explains how they can take concrete action to
improve their job prospects. Chapters contain guidance on how to
put forward a strong application, how to make the best use of
placements, and how to keep records so that students feel more in
control during the application process. Internationally acclaimed
study skills author Stella Cottrell provides students with the
ingredients they need to create their own recipe for success.
