Making Work Work for You

How do you bring yourself forward for promotion? How do you get the right job? Should one plan ones career? And if so, how do you go about doing it? What are the common mistakes in career planning? How did you establish your career? how do you mentor staff? Legal aspects? What are your rights?

You spend a substantial portion of your life at work. Why not make that time as professionally and personally rewarding and fulfilling as possible by planning your career. You have nothing to lose, and potentially a great deal to gain, by spending time exploring how to get where you want to be, whether it is as an employee, a senior manager or an entrepreneur.

Experts from staffing, coaching, recruitment and employment law join forces in an inspirational panel.
