About This Book
With the 5th revised and improved edition, published by a state funded publisher involved in EU programs and a partner of the Federal Ministry of Education, you receive the concentrated expertise of renowned authors (overview in the book preview) and extensive add-ons as well as individual consulting. At the same time, you do good and support sustainable projects. Because finding the perfect job that exactly matches your own strengths and skills is extremely difficult: The selection of opportunities, training and further education is huge and misleading, at the same time the requirements for the supposed dream job are high and it should be interesting, well paid and secure at the same time. Orienting oneself on role models, labor market forecasts or the promises of educational institutions is not very helpful. Therefore, one should reflect on one's own talents and abilities and thus positively highlight the undreamt-of potential of one's own strengths in the application process. In this way, you may find a dream job that you hadn't even thought of, and you can always adapt flexibly to an ever faster-changing job market, which is also an advantage if you want to change your career later in life. This book shows the chances and possibilities in the search for the perfectly fitting job and thus helps to find the right way. Good luck and have fun reading.
