Synopsis

Observers tell us that we will have many jobs and possibly several careers during our lifetimes. But there is very little practical help available for professionals on how to move between jobs and careers.This audiobook takes the listener through a comprehensive process that will help them to prepare for job search, identify job opportunities, and then maximize their chance of success.The author has worked with over 1,000 senior executives as a career coach. So, his advice is practical and it is supported by real stories of successes and setbacks.Most people are not aware of the life skills required to manage successful transitions between jobs. They tend work on their cv and then to make up their own approach to moving forward. They often aim too low. They do not understand how to prepare properly. It is not uncommon for them to fail to reach their potential. When their approach does not work out they blame themselves. It does not need to be this way. This audiobook increases the possibility of success in your transition process and then in your subsequent career.The original book was written for mid-career professionals. But the process it describes is relevant for individuals at any stage on their career, from graduation to retirement.This audiobook has four parts:1. Understanding the basics2. Building on your strengths3. Growing the power of your network4. Finding the right job.

There are many challenges that face us all throughout our careers, and while our individual experiences will vary, there are often elements that are common to many.

As the #greatresignation rolls on, Bill Cowan’s ‘Building a Winning Career’ could not be more prescient. Bill provides a practical, guiding philosophy as to how one can think strategically and act proactively and positively to achieve career growth. Two words repeatedly jump out of the text - #prepa......more
