It also includes advice on custom-building impressive resumes and CVs, upskilling for interviews and writing compelling cover letters.
Employable was written to help everyone future proof their careers. It’s a must-read guide, not only for job seekers, but also for business owners and hiring managers seeking better strategies for recruiting.
Foreword
by Heather Swan
Most people would not consider climbing and jumping from a Himalayan mountain a good career choice. Yet it was for me. This, along with other adventures such as flying a wingsuit across the Grand Canyon, has enhanced my ‘employability factor’ enormously.
Who would have thought it?
Roxanne Calder would have.
If you want a long career, one you design not only to provide an income but also to enhance your whole self, your wellbeing, your sense of self-worth, your purpose and your happiness–read this book.
Roxanne will show you how to understand who you are, what you want, where you are now, where you want to be and how to bridge that very important–and sometimes very big–gap.
Why? Because she has devoted herself to helping countless people do just that. She’s taken all those stories and experiences, all those lessons learned, and distilled them into a ‘how-to’ that works.
I’ve known Roxanne for more than a decade. I’ve seen her take on big challenges and confront big fears. I’ve taken her and her recruiting team head way outside their comfort zone–rock climbing, skydiving and even into the remote outback, where self-reliance is critical. I’ve watched Roxanne struggle with her fears and win. I’ve seen her apply that same grit in the business world while never losing her optimism and passion for what she does.
Roxanne understands the importance of standing firm in the face of obstacles and self-doubt. She knows that to have the career you want, you have to grow your comfort zone and yourself, not just the obvious business skill set. She has an uncanny talent for helping people find their way.
When my daughter went to Roxanne for help finding an office job, Roxanne found her a dog-walking position instead, a position she still has and loves years later. Roxanne has mentored countless people in the same way–helping them choose their true passion and make that choice a success.
Having a copy of Roxanne’s book is akin to having her truthful, caring, reassuring voice on call. This alone is worth so much more than the cost of a book.
