Career choice is not a single event―it’s a life-long process!
For a student taking a career development course, or a career seeker actively looking for placement the fourth edition of Hired! remains a practical, life-career planning guide designed to reach a variety of audiences. However, unlike other textbooks, Hired! focuses on helping students develop an ongoing, flexible portfolio about themselves and their work--to prepare them for satisfying and productive lives in our ever-changing world. The writing activities encourage students to take a proactive role in creating their own career philosophy and their futures. The workbook approach and step-by-step exercises keep students focused on the critical issues--self-developed goals and action plans--and the execution of those plans. At the same time, various goal-setting and planning techniques will help job seekers overcome career obstacles and increase the likelihood of career success.
New to this edition
· The theme of goal setting is woven throughout the book.
· The role of online social networking in the career planning, networking, and job search process is addressed.
· The financial planning chapter (ch. 12) has been expanded and focuses on practical issues faced by traditional and nontraditional students.
Each chapter now includes:
1) A profile of a traditional and non-traditional student, providing students a profile of someone to whom they can relate.
2) A “Do You Measure Up? or “Are You Prepared?” goal-setting activity. These features emphasize specific self-assessment and goal-setting activities that the student completes for implementation in their plan.
3) A “What Employers Want” workplace information featyre. The workplace information helps students develop greater understanding of the workplace and keys to success in their career plan, job search or workplace activities.
