About the Book

Approaching graduation and still have no clue of how to land your dream job? Or not sure what you'd like to do when you're 'all grown up'? There is help. 'Landing Your Dream Job: Start Your Career Ahead of the Competition' is a guide providing young people with the information necessary to clarify what they'd love to do, and show them how to secure a job in their desired field. Exploring education choices, job hunting strategies, the importance of networking, constructing professional cover letters and resumes, executing interviews and the follow up process, as well as the awful truths about recruitment firms, this book is a must-read for any young person looking to develop a successful career. The book covers: - Education choices and your parents - Choosing a degree - Job hunting strategies - Networking to improve your career prospects - Recruitment firms - the inside scoop - How to write fantastic cover letters - How to create a resume that impresses - How to handle an interview with poise and confidence - What to do after the interview - interview followup - How you can begin on the journey to your dream job In the book, we also emphasise the importance of internships, volunteer work, or part-time employment as this will help you explore your career options and decide if a certain job or field is the right choice for you. Work experience is also a great way to start networking and get in touch with contacts that may be useful later on. Chapter 4 is all about this, but pick up the book to find out more. Written by a recruitment expert with help from undergrad students, this guide gives easy to understand information that will make your career hunting journey much more satisfying.
About the Author: Toby Marshall was the director of a recruitment firm for fifteen years before founding his own marketing company, Lead Creation Pty Ltd in 2009. His first book 'Get a better job: Your roadmap to career success/Get great people: Your roadmap to hiring the best' was an Amazon no. 1 seller. His recruitment advice in that book, both for those looking to improve their careers and those looking to hire the best, was called "Easy to read, practical career advice" by Melanie Laing, Asia Pacific Director HR, Unisys. It was also called "Innovative and insightful - a great resource for up and coming professionals to boost their career" by Tim Dein, President NSW AHRI Council (Australian Human Resources Institute). Toby has filled his latest book: 'Landing your dream job: Start your career ahead of the competition' with the wealth of recruitment knowledge he gained while working in the industry. Acting as the Director of Abacus Recruitment Solutions, Toby learnt exactly what employers look for in potential job candidates. He's chosen to pass this information on to young people in his new book, to help them progress in the right direction toward landing their dream job. Toby also has experience working with and advising young people. As the Principal of the marketing company, Lead Creation, Toby and his team consistently recruits and hires university undergraduates and interns. His business helps them develop expertise and knowledge in online marketing strategies for small businesses, targeting their niche markets to attract attention from both existing and prospective clients. It also allows them to gain valuable corporate experience whilst still attending university. This makes them highly attractive to potential employers once they graduate. Toby isn't a distant 'seagull manager'-he works with young people on a daily business, so he knows what they're looking for in terms of career advice. A team of young writers and recruiters also contributed their writing skills, energy and stories to 'Landing your dream job: Start your career ahead of the competition'. Due to this, the guide really speaks to students in a fresh and practical way that's easy to understand and apply.
