Your Career Survival Guide for the 21st Century:
Most people today need one thing more than anything else to survive. A job. Yet world events are conspiring to make good, well-paying jobs scarcer and harder to retain.
But no-one bothered to tell people about these new threats to their careers. Or what to do about them. Until now.
If you have a job today, you need a plan for when you no longer have it. If you are looking for a job today, this book will show you how to get it, and more importantly how to sustain a career which isn't at the mercy of an uncertain economic outlook.
