'Right...You sure you've got everything?'

This resource initially outlines how the British job market has radically changed in recent times and highlights the need for 'people skills' and good interview practice in a service economy. To illustrate this, we read of the hapless John - frustrated by his lack of success - calling in his former English Teacher to 'put him right'.

'Right...You sure you've got everything?' does not deal with the finer points of social etiquette...only the basic, minimum requirements of any employer seeking to take on a presentable, well mannered young man or woman. Securing and completing an application form, attending the interview and personal conduct on the day are dealt with her in a direct and prudently unsympathetic fashion...it's pull your socks up and get real time! Recognised nationally within his recreational field as a cartoonist, the author has punctuated his work with timely, expressive representation of the up and downs of job hunting.
