PSNews.com.au Review

Have you ever wondered about how employable you are? Recruitment expert Roxanne Calder says if you are employed, it doesn’t mean you are employable!

This is her definitive guide on how to be employable in a competitive job market. Technology is escalating the rate of change in the workplace.

Employable delves into the seven most important traits that employers are looking for in today’s competitive job marketplace. Each attribute is given a chapter that examines its facets, ending with a self-assessment for readers to gauge the state of their trait.

Special chapters are included for those marking life milestones, a practical section includes chapters on custom-building résumés and CVs, skilling up for interviews, writing compelling cover letters and honing the job search by using transferable skills across job clusters…

Blue Wolf Review

Well written the chapter’s flow easily as if she is sitting speaking with you, as she addresses the aspects and attributes required in the highly competitive world of employment today, as well as sharing her journey and valuable learning experiences.

Each of the seven attributes is given their own chapters which set out in detail what they are, how you can discover whether you have them or not and how to hone, or establish them to perfection. Questions are presented, explanations offered and helpful dialogue makes facing up to yourself relatively easy.

Calder has also addressed the traumatic issues of getting sacked, redundancy and retirement, which is not always the happy place many expect it to be, as well as the very practical aspects of getting a job: resume writing to stand out from the crowd, personal presentation, the very important research and preparation…
