Book description
"It is possible to have the job of your dreams. Together
we are going to set about getting you there.
Before I joined the BBC's Dragons' Den, I spent thirty years
setting up and running recruitment companies, placing hundreds of
thousands of candidates in the jobs they really wanted.
I will take you through the process step by step. How to stay
positive in a difficult economic climate and find the right
opportunities. How to package yourself to make sure you secure
an interview. The vital importance of preparation, so that you
are relaxed and give a great performance at interview. How to
show your passion, and ask the perfect questions. And
finally, how to use your power by closing the best deal on a
job offer.
At every stage I will help you rethink the traditional, formulaic
approach to job hunting. It's the detail that makes the difference.
This book is not about hoping you get lucky. It is about creating
your own luck."
James Caan
James Caan is one of the UK's most successful and dynamic
entrepreneurs, having built and sold businesses since 1985. After
dropping out of school at sixteen and starting his first business in a
Pall Mall broom cupboard - armed with little more than charm and his
father's advice - Caan went on to make his fortune in the recruitment
industry, founding the Alexander Mann Group, a company with a turnover
of 130m. A 2003 graduate of Harvard Business School, Caan's most recent
endeavour has been to set up private equity firm Hamilton Bradshaw. Caan
hit our screens when he joined the panel of the BBC's Dragons' Den in
2007. He is a regular in the national and business press, advises on
various Government programmes, and initiates numerous philanthropic
projects via the James Caan Foundation.
