Kate Wendleton founded the Five O'Clock Club in the United States which
helps job hunters and career changers across the country. She is also
a syndicated careers columnist. Once again, this book is written primarily
with the US market in mind but the assessments used are extremely useful
in identifying strengths and moving forward in your career search
This "how to" book is an extremely useful resource when you
are putting together your CV - it is easy to read and has some excellent
tips which help you create a good working CV that truly reflects you and
your experience. It is written from the UK perspective (there is also
an American version available) . Make sure that you write your CV with
your target audience in mind as resumes in the United States are very
different than CVs in the UK
This slip-cased edition contains a copy of "Great Answers to Tough Interview Questions" and a companion cassette based on the book. From putting a CV together to negotiating a salary to the most dreaded interview questions, the package forearms job seekers to avoid pitfalls. Plenty of examples of the tough, sneaky questions that interviewers love to throw at applicants are included to improve confidence and interview technique
Both this and Cashflow Quadrant (listed below) are excellent reading
for those who are searching for financial independence. Robert Kiyosaki,
a personal finance author and lecturer, has taken the advice he received
as a child and which led him to retire at 47, and made a highly readable
book with a new outlook on making money.
This book is the follow up to the extremely successful Rich Dad, Poor
Dad book by Kiyosaki and takes the concepts of financial independence
to the next level. Well worth reading. Both books are written for the
US audience but the principles work well anywhere.
Alvin Hall strips the basic concepts that everyone should know about
money management down to simple, easy to understand chapters that should
be required reading for those who want to feel more in control of their
finances. It is written from the UK perspective. Alvin Hall also has a
tv show on BBC2 about money management.
This book has been at the top of the New York Best Sellers List and there
is good reason for that. It is a clearly written book on how to define
and achieve financial freedom. This is another book written with the US
market in mind so some of the chapters are not relevant to the UK audience
but the other areas are so strong that I still highly recommend it.
So many of the issues that are covered in coaching relate to change and
this is the best book I have read on the subject and always causes great
discussion afterwards. The whole book should only take a couple of hours
to read but it is one I am sure you will refer back to . It is a simple
story with a great moral!
This is a simple fable for grown ups. It is the beautifully written story
of a young boy's journey from Spain through North Africa in seach of great
riches. It is about following your dream and the lessons you learn along
the way. A great read!

I have read hundreds of self help books, and this one is without a doubt
the BEST. I could read this one over and over. It also is much easier
to understand than most. After reading and practicing the techniques in
this book, I feel for the first time in years, that I have finally made
it past the hurdle, and look forward to increasing success.
