What to expect

There's never been a better time to craft a career you love. But how can you find your ideal career and make it work for you?

By the time you retire, you'll have spent a third of your life working. That's far too long to be stuck in a job you hate. You want one you find rewarding - in head and heart, as well as wallet. The good news is the future lies in your hands. With the right actions and attitude you can power ahead with a career you enjoy.

This essential handbook will teach you how to learn from your mistakes, kickstart some good habits and kick out some bad ones. Discover how to play Poohsticks with your career, how to be sustainably selfish, how to find a boss you can learn from, and create a fulfilling career wherever you are in life.

In Life's Work, James Reed - chairman of REED, Britain's best-known name in recruitment - reveals the 12 proven ways to fast track your career, so when you leap out of bed on Monday morning, you'll be ready to take on the world.
