The Employability Journal [Paperback]

This journal takes the fear out of career planning and personal development and provides students with a place to capture their learning and reflect on their experiences. It introduces readers to the core themes of personal development, including self-awareness, effective communication, managing change and networking, and contains dozens of activities to help students reflect on their career development. It also includes space to record key achievements, so that students can make the most of their time at university and boost their career prospects.

This is an excellent companion for all undergraduate students looking to build up a personal development record and enhance their employability. It is an invaluable resource for students undertaking industrial placements and those on personal development planning or employability modules.
