The Graduate Bible: A coaching guide for students and graduates on how to stand out in today's competitive job market - Paperback

by Emma Vites (Author)

'The Graduate bible' is a young person's career coaching book with a twist! Combining 8+ years Graduate recruitment experience in the UK and Australia with a decade's worth of experience working at LinkedIn in London, San Francisco and New York, Emma Vites is uniquely placed to advise graduates on what employers are looking for and how to secure their dream job. What most career books forget to mention is that you are being interviewed by a 'person' and NOT a 'company'. Connectivity is a fundamental life skill and yet, up until now little or no training has been available to us. Using proven psychological techniques from Emma's background as a Master NLP practitioner and IMA personality profiling practitioner, 'The Graduate Bible' provides graduates and young people with the skills they need to put themselves into the mind of different employers to ensure they GET HIRED. Within this book, the readers will learn the art of communication and they will take a short personality questionnaire (IMA) to determine their preferred communication style and how to adapt this to suit others. The readers will learn how to use a number of channels, including LinkedIn to secure their dream job and they will be taken on a journey of how to 'sell' themselves as the best person for the job even with limited experience. They will learn what most career books focus on, such as writing the perfect CV (resume) and performing well in interviews and assessment days, but more importantly, this book will help graduates and young people believe that they have valuable skills, which will improve their confidence when applying for jobs considerably.
