THE CAREERS AND HIGHER EDUCATION MAGAZINE FROM THE INSPIRING FUTURES FOUNDATION


Work
“You’re fired” are words nobody wants to hear so what does Sir Alan really want from his next apprentice? John Botten, former Chairman of the National Education Business Partnership Network, starts off our “You’re Hired...” series reflecting on what young people need to succeed in business and why transferable skills are so important.

But how do you achieve these skills, especially with all those exams to study for? Jonathan Hardwick, an experienced careers advisor, introduces us to “Project You” and shows how you can easily prove you’ve got what it takes to be up there with the best of Sir Alan’s team.

For those that missed it last time we showcase Carl Gilleard, Head of the Association of Graduate Recruiters, excellent talk about what companies really want from your qualifications, skills and personality mix.

Don’t forget if you’re a Futurewise member you can access all our back issue articles through the Work archive.
