For some people, just the thought of a career change can be daunting, overwhelming and confusing. Whether you are seeking a change within your current employer or a completely new direction, 'Taking the Fear Out of Interviews' is a comprehensive, practical workbook to help you identify and obtain a better career choice. What could be an inspiring career move? How can you really enjoy what you do every day? How should you apply for a new role? How do you write a compelling CV? What are the different interview situations you could encounter and how do you deal with them with confidence? These are just a few of the questions covered. As a recruitment specialist, I have seen so many people with skills and talent not succeeding in the workplace because they have lacked confidence during promotion interviews or they are in unfulfilling roles. Others, who have been made redundant after a number of years and are struggling to consider alternative options because their identity is still with their ex-employer. Graduates or school-leavers not sure about their career goals - they just know what they don't want. If this sounds like You, then I have written this book For You. Sometimes it is hard to know where to start when looking for a career change or fresh opportunity. This book is a practical guide helping you through all the stages.. "If you don't know where you are going, then how do you know how to get there" is a true enough comment but I would also add that "if you don't know who you are, then how do you know where you are going? Adopting the right mindset is key for positive change, as sometimes we are definitely our own worst enemy. The book is full of practical exercises to help you have clarity regarding "Who you are", "What you are looking for" and "How you can get there". Above all, the focus is on putting this knowledge in to an Action Plan to help you achieve your career goals.
