Official synopsis Publisher
Warning: This is the book your boss will not want you to read!!
Do you work in the IT Industry? Are you struggling with the pace of change?Are you in a dead-end job?Be grateful! At least you know you need to do something about it!
Pity those people who are in a Career Cul-de-Sac!
A Career Cul-de-Sac is not a dead-end. A dead-end is a scary place, and you feel like you need to turn around and get the hell back to a place that lets you go somewhere. It has the word ‘Dead’ in it, and that is a bad word for where we are at. “Sh*t, honey! I’ve taken a wrong turn in my career and hit a dead-end. I’ve got to do something!” A Career Cul-de-Sac is far more insidious than that, and far more deadly. People actually like living in a Career Cul-de-Sac. They are comfortable, happy, the bills get paid and they have the respect of their peers. But the world passes them by until they wake up one day and realize that something just isn’t quite right: they have become obsolete without even noticing. The BBQs and the socializing in Number 1 Career Cul-de-Sac have been great and in many other industries this would have set that person up for life: the IT industry is one of the most competitive and brutal in the world. If Charles Darwin were alive today he would not be writing about the Galapagos Islands he would be pointing at the Tech scene and shouting “Look! I was right!! Right there – look!” Only those who are able to evolve to keep pace with it survive. This book will give you Career Advice and deep insights into what you need to do stay relevant and evolve to use the New Rules in a world that is changing at an ever-increasing pace; it will give proven strategies to identify what you want in a new role and how to get it through using inside recruiter knowledge gained through the best part of two-decades recruiting for the tech world.You will learn how to use SEO to optimise your resume and online LinkedIn profile and whilst doing this create something that really sells you to an employer.This is not a book your Boss will want you read: it puts YOU and your interests first and makes you look at your current role and ask some hard questions. Your job has changed. The rules have changed.Ultimately you have a choice: Evolve or Die.
