As Careers Coordinator in school this book is invaluable for both myself and pupils. The quizzes and opportunities for self-reflection and matching are excellent. a definite buy for school use.

This book has been a real gem. It explores the skills and attitudes that are ideal for gaining (and keeping) employment, and has been very useful to myself (I'm in my final year at university). Whilst some of the content of this book is common sense knowledge, it was helpful to see it all set out in one place, and also helped me to identify my own strengths and weaknesses, Great read, very helpful, will be suggesting this for my university bookstore to keep in stock.
