Your Career Control System


Your Career Control System is Career Headway's highly acclaimed manual, designed specifically to help Job Seekers in:

  • discovering what they have really got to offer to potential employers - and enabling them to back up their claims,
     
  • identifying tools to use in their task - and becoming familiar in using them,
     
  • learning about the various routes into the Job Market - both the advertised and the unadvertised, and
     
  • learning how to take greater control over their future career progression.

Although Your Career Control System usually retails at £150.00, a complimentary copy is provided to delegates attending Career Headway's Managerial Outplacement Workshop, and is a optional extra (at a discounted rate) with the Cost-Effective Outplacement Service.
