A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

The updated and expanded second edition of HIRED! continues to use a holistic, applied approach to life-career planning and job hunting. This unique textbook explores the role of work in relation to the many roles that are balanced in life.

Written in a practical, hands-on style, readers will develop a portfolio of information about themselves and the changing world of work that allows for lifelong use. HIRED! 2/e is designed to help you prepare and take advantage of the ongoing changes in the way that we work. Rather than view career decision-making as a single event, the authors help you see it as a life-long, dynamic process. You are in charge of your own life/career.

HIRED! 2/e is exercise-driven and filled with a variety of examples to assist readers along their own journey. Through structured personal "think pieces" and other activities, you will have the opportunity to reflect on relevant issues and integrate this self-knowledge into your life/career planning — including the job search process.

Additional highlights of the second edition include:

• Using the Internet to help you learn about yourself and the world of work
• A focus on the changing nature of work — including trends in the workplace
• Exploring issues of diversity and working in a multicultural society
• Reconfigured final unit, "Creating and Managing Your Future," that will allow you to explore the four life zones: professional, personal, social, and financial
• Updated examples on the job hunting process including helpful suggestions
• More written self-assessment exercises located directly in the textbook
• A new chapter, "Exploring through Experience," that will assist you in discovering the value of education outside the walls of a traditional classroom
