Get ahead in your new job
Increasingly, employers are judging potential candidates on their ability to offer short-term success and wondering how quickly new hires – at all management levels – will provide a return on their investment.
Employers tell recruitment agencies they need someone who ‘will hit the ground running’ and from day one, form conclusions about their recruit’s future within the business. Are you a star, or perhaps someone who won’t be around long? Successful career management is about managing your opening 100 days more effectively.
John Lees, author of 15 books on careers and work including the best-selling How To Get A Job You Love, offers a webinar focused on getting the most out of any new role.
