Jumpstart Your Career : Essential Steps To A Brilliant Future
31 May 06

Don’t waste your life doing a job you don’t love.

Work should do more for us than just pay the bills - there’s a whole world of exciting careers out there. Jumpstart Your Career shows you how to become part of it by taking control of your career and managing it to suit your life and ambitions.

The average person in the UK spends almost 40 hours a week working. That doesn’t include travelling time or all those extra hours we put into thinking about work.

The job we do has a huge impact on the quality of our lives. A great career can play a big part in making us feel satisfied and contented. But that’s not how working life is for millions of people stuck in dead-end careers for whom the only job satisfaction is a pay cheque at the end of the month.

Written by two leading BBC journalists, Jumpstart Your Career is for anyone at a crossroads in their working life, whether they are starting out, stuck in a rut or returning after a career gap.

It is a very straightforward book – no jargon, no complex theories, just practical advice about how to find work that inspires you and how to manage your career successfully.
