All Faye had to do to win the bed ready for festival season was to answer the question; Glastonbury is in which county? The answer was of course SOMERSET! Unfortunately we had many answers come through from people who must of mis-read the question claiming the answer was England. How our eyes deceive us, eh?!
Win Copies of ‘How To Find A Job You’ll Love’
Win this!
For many young people, who thanks to the recession are faced with one of the toughest job markets in recent years, the idea of finding a job they love has been replaced by the more immediate problem of finding any job at all.
Despite the tricky labour market conditions, careers author John Lees argues that it’s important to set out knowing what kind of work you would love to do for a living. . His best-selling book, How To Get A Job You’ll Love, covers tips on getting through competency-based interviews, advice on how to find the right field of work, strategies to help make a complete career change, updated material on age discrimination and how to conduct an effective job search in a declining market.
Thanks to John we’ve got five copies to give away. All you have to do is email your answer (along with your name and postal address) to COMPETITIONS@notgoingtouni.com and the first five right answers out of the notgoingtouni.com hat (it does exist it’s not just made up) will receive a copy.
