The Ultimate Career Companion: A complete toolkit for finding the right job

This book is a concise 21st century tool-kit for finding your next role. Here you'll find the key factors and techniques to use in deciding your next career move and includes essential templates and full interview guides on how to find and secure your dream job. Areas covered include:

- preparing your CV
- how to search for a job
- making social media work for you
- preparing for an interview
- what to do at an interview
- following up after the interview to nail the role and maximise your remuneration

A key theme throughout the guide is: who am I trying to impress?

We refer to this theme in every chapter and go into some more detail on what it means. For instance, when writing your CV, you need to put yourself in the shoes of the recruiting manager. What would you want to know from a candidate's CV? Out of the hundreds of CVs you'd be looking at, which key skills and experiences would stand out for you? Keep this in mind when you write your CV.

The book is also designed to be a practical guide, full of useful tips and templates that you can start using straight away to help you find your ultimate job.

Scattered throughout the book are our Ultimate Tips which highlight the most important things you should remember. You will also find templates and examples of CVs and letters that you can use during your job search and application process.
