Enhancing Your Employability

by Rod Ashley

Published 1 November 1998
The world of work is changing, and the concept of a job for life has disappeared. Career changes, short-term contracts, portfolio- and self-employment are commonplace. This text explains what "employability" means, and offers practical advice for the reader on enhancing prospects of working in a sphere they enjoy. The book encourages readers to identify strengths and skills and to identify weaknesses and how to overcome them. It asks questions about motivation and attitude in order to match working life and personal life values, and helps readers to assess what they have to offer, whether embarking on a career, changing direction, returning to work or facing unemployment or early retirement.
