Never has the job market been tougher. So how would you like to have the man who revolutionised the recruitment industry in your corner? At times like these you need the best advice and strongest resources available to land your perfect job. You’re going to be up against seriously stiff competition. More than one million 16-24 year olds are now looking for employment.
Fear not! In Get The Job You Really Want, James Caan shows you how to find the best employers, get a foot in the door, thrive in the interview, and close the deal on a job offer regardless of the state of the job market. Whether you’re a graduate, a CEO or trying to change industries, this is the only book you’ll need.
James Caan is one of the UK’s most successful and dynamic entrepreneurs, and has been building and selling businesses since 1985. After dropping out of school at sixteen and starting his first business in a Pall Mall broom cupboard, armed with little more than charm and his father’s advice, Caan went on to make his fortune in the recruitment industry, founding the Alexander Mann Group, which grew to a turnover of £130 million. He also co-founded executive headhunting firm Humana International, growing it to 147 offices across thirty countries in six years.
Caan graduated from Harvard Business School in 2003, and went on to set up private equity firm Hamilton Bradshaw. Based in Mayfair, Hamilton Bradshaw specializes in buyouts, venture capital and turnarounds in the recruitment sector, as well as real estate investments and development opportunities in both the UK and Europe.
A winner of PricewaterhouseCoopers Entrepreneur of the Year and BT Enterprise of the Year award, Caan joined the panel of BBC’s Dragons’ Den in 2007. He is a regular in the national and business press, he advises various government programmes, and he initiates philanthropic projects via the James Caan Foundation.
