-- Irena Jennings

A mother and daughter co-authorship providing a sympathetic, yet pragmatic, guide to all aspects of career development. The authors have structured the book to maximise efficiency for the reader, yet simultaneously include thought-provoking questions and insightful discussion of thorny issues. An invaluable read, packed with resources and underpinned by a true passion for and expertise in employability.

-- Helen Standage
It is an ideal read for undergraduate and postgraduate students who need a boost in employability, need advice to handle career challenges and need to develop and promote their professional attributes (skills, experience and qualities). It is the kind of book that ESP teachers, or any teacher in higher education, might consider referring to their students who are about to finish their studies. It is even a more essential book for those international students or career changers who wish to find a career in the UK since the book is full of websites that give very specific advice about careers and employment in the UK. -- Balbina Moncada Comas
