I found this book to be extremely helpful. I had been a temp in
administration for four years after finishing Uni and a Post Graduate course
which I had failed.
This book made me analyse myself, and it's actvities enable you to discover your
values and your strengths. It also gives you tips on filling in application
forms, sending speculative job applications, it even suggests you to take an
employee from a company you are interested to lunch.
I am now a lecturer in a Further Education College and this employment is
something that reflects my values, my autonomy and my ideal environment. This is
due in part to this book.
I recommend it to people who are not enjoying the job they are in
at the moment, recent graduates and school leavers.

Wherever you are currently in your career, Malcolm Hornby's
latest release of his book on career tactics is a revelation.
How many times have we struggled with our natural bashfulness to
state our strengths? Malcolm's Brag Box helps put into perspective all the
achievements and accomplishments we've had in our lives. And not only those
gained at work.
There's great advice on understanding ourselves - what makes us
tick. And that self-knowledge is great when selecting which opportunities will
challenge, enable and empower us, (and which are a must to avoid.)
The section on e-searching is an essential for today's managers
and professionals; and there are tips and hints on how to make the best of
technology - and the not-so-obvious traps.
So, whether you are a career mover, a promotion seeker or have
just received the blow of redundancy, simply follow Malcolm's three steps to
success.
