EBOOK: After You Graduate: Finding and Getting Work You Will Enjoy

Book excerpt: Taking the fear out of ‘career’. Does the thought of graduation worry you? Does the word 'career' depress you? Do you feel you're getting nowhere and wasting your degree? Do you want something different but don't know how to get it? After you Graduate is for students who are about to enter the world of work or those looking for a change in career direction. It takes the anxiety out of career choice and job-hunting and answers frequently-asked questions such as: What is a graduate job? What do graduates in my subject do? How do I identify what sort of work I will enjoy? What’s the use of a work placement? How do I write a good application form, CV and covering letter? How do I make a good impression at an interview? After You Graduate can be used as a reference guide to the whole career-choice and job-finding process including further study and self-employment.
