Take Control is extremely timely and topical in today’s ever-changing and evolving, do-it-yourself career development world. In the past few years, numerous industries have seen scores of employees leaving their jobs in search of something new and better. With workforces no longer satisfied to stay in jobs that just pay the bills, job seekers as well as those looking to move up the corporate ladder need new guidance on just how to go about getting that job that they want. Many of these “career nomads” aren’t around long enough to access career development from their employers. On the other end of the workplace spectrum, many employees find themselves stuck in one job without a promotion, without any raise to speak or, and with no opportunities to learn and grow.
Burnison delivers straight-talk advice to help not only people looking to land the job, but to people wanting to take control and advance in their careers. This new book fills a void left by traditional career books that haven’t kept up with today’s new reality of short job tenures, job-hopping, the faster pace of business in a technology-driven workplace, remote/hybrid work, flexible workdays, and beyond. Take Control acknowledges a central truth: more than ever, people need to take control of their own career development, tapping into their motivation and sense of purpose to achieve greater success and satisfaction. And this book will give readers the power and the tools to do just that.
