Career advice: Knowing who to trust
July 29th, 2010 . by adminFor some reason, career advice is one of those topics on which people are rarely shy to volunteer an opinion. However, even if their experience and ambitions are quite different to yours, they offer you folk bromides, such as ‘it’s not what you know, but who you know that matters’. Whilst these sorts of clichés do have a level of accuracy, they fail to adequately convey the more technical and complex factors involved in finding a new job or changing careers. It’s important to do your own research and to consult recognised careers experts, whether online or at your local jobcentre.
