Work Explained to Career Starters Andreas Landman

Many young adults start their career every year. Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and frightened. "Work Explained to Career Starters" explains to young adults that job-hunting is the easy part (even if they have been looking for months and handed out hundreds of CV's). The hard part is deciding who to work for and keeping the job you decided on. The mental image a young adult has of working for a living might be far removed from reality. Being a career starter is daunting. This book will help make it easier for the young adult to move from life at home to work at a company. The young adult might not even know him- or herself and must decide to start their career at a company where the culture and value system is in line with their own. The young adult must know that all is not as their parents presented it to them - adulthood is hard. Young adults must know that not all of the money promised them would come their way - they must only plan to spend as much as they can reasonably expect to earn. Young adults, as workers, have rights. Their main role, however, is to follow instructions. These instructions must be followed in a safe way. This book will open the young adults' eyes to the world of working for a company.
