by Carmel Mc Connell (Author), JonathanRobinson (Author)

Synopsis

It's one of the biggest dilemmas a person faces -- what do I do with my life? And it's not just the 400,000 annual UK graduates. Every year there are also thousands of twenty and thirtysomethings who realise they have made the wrong move and wonder what the options are now, or even what they were in the first place. They need a career, but want fulfilment. They want to know what the working alternatives are - not just do I join Mars or Cadbury-Schweppes, and 'if I don't join a plc then can I earn enough to live?' Carees Un-ltd helps you work out where you want to be, and what you want to do with your life. This is the book to help you develop an un-ltd mindset and to tackle that tricky 'cash or principles' issue. This is the book to explore your basic career options - in stimulating and vibrant terms; no corporate speak, no pulling punches. Featuring case studies of dozens of people who have created a career that works for them, in a truly un-limited way. This is the Rough Guide to the world of work. Find work that works for you.
