The world of work changes constantly and it is no longer the case that hard work alone can bring rewards. This manual provides readers with the tools to formulate both the tactics and the strategy for achieving success. Comprehensive but also colloquial in style, it seeks to avoid the patronising tone of many such career titles. Featuring insights from real-life employees and managers, along with exercises, checklists and advice, it helps readers formulate a long-term plan for their career success. Topics covered include: establishing career priorities; dealing with office politics; bulking up your CV; working with office procedures; moving up in management; creating your personal brand; negotiating a big pay rise; networking; getting headhunted; and getting the right job.
