Background… BA (Hons) - University of Nottingham FCA (Chartered Accountant) - KPMG Recruitment industry - 10 years Published Author - Harriman House Guardian Careers - ‘panel of experts’ AIM Awards - two qualifications: • Level 2 Award in Skills for Career Planning using Technology (QCF) • Level 3 Award in Employability Skills: Creating an Online Profile (QCF) Portfolio career - Founder of Career Codex With high unemployment and jobseekers fighting for fewer and fewer jobs it's never been more important to get an edge when looking for that next career move. The right experience and qualifications, a good CV and a nicely worded covering letter are no longer enough – they are the bare minimum! In this book, experienced recruiter Simon Gray explains how to get ahead, what to do and – just as crucially – what not to do in order to win in the highly competitive job race. He also explores the psychology of looking for a job and divulges his revolutionary techniques to get noticed and employed in a crowded market. If you are looking for a job or planning to change career this is the book you can't afford not to read! SIMON GRAY began his recruitment career in 1999. Ten years later, he jointly founded Cherry Professional Limited, a recruitment business dedicated to providing the best career advice to jobseekers. Simon is also a Chartered Accountant having qualified with KPMG, which adds to his skills as a professional recruiter. These two areas of expertise both call for rigour and a sense of detail which he also applies away from the office as an accomplished Martial Artist. Simon is an experienced commentator, regularly quoted on BBC Radio and in other media, offering tips to both jobseekers and employers. In Super Secrets of the Successful Jobseeker, he combines his mental discipline, understanding of the psychology of people and expert knowledge of the job market to give the jobseeker that all important edge.
