About this book

Hugely anticipated fully updated edition of the bestselling guide for school and college leavers, which includes new material on apprenticeships, using AI, cybersecurity, emotional wellbeing and the job market

Moving from school or college into work is one of the biggest steps you'll ever take as a young person. It's an exciting time but it's also a challenging one - where you'll be fighting off competition to get that crucial first job. But what skills are employers really looking for when they search for new recruits, and what makes you employable?

Uniquely written for students and college leavers and brimming with activities and case studies, What Employers Want 3rd edition is your practical one-stop shop for helping you to identify and improve the skills, attitudes and behaviours required by today's employers. Helping you to secure your first job and equip you for the world of work, this invaluable handbook will guide you to:

recognise the skills that you already have and what you can already do
understand how your existing skills will be useful when you look for a job or start work
build on those skills, so that you become the sort of person that an organisation wants to employ
help you to create a skills profile that you can use when you apply for jobs and go for interviews.

If you're looking for a job or about to start work, this book will help you to ensure that employers know just how capable you are and why you're exactly the sort of person they need to hire!
