    About this ebook

    This is an essential go-to guide for anyone navigating the uncertain waters of a real world career path. Appealing to new, recent and not-so-recent graduates; but also to school leavers and non-graduates, this wealth of information is designed to lead the reader through the plethora of challenges they can expect to encounter on the path to ultimate career success.

    The books focus is on informal education the type that no university or college is equipped to teach, because it is based on real life experiences.

    Covering topics such as networking, mentorship and effective goal setting, it is sure to be equally appreciated by those who wish to read it cover to cover and by those who wish to delve into a specific section for some practical, hands-on advice and guidance.

    The work also includes useful links to websites and organisations as well as pertinent further reading recommendations.

      About the Author

      Acknowledgements

      This book has passed through several hands, too numerous to mention, but I consider my appreciation a disservice if I fail to mention just a few.

      Primarily, I thank God Almighty for the conceptualisation, motivation, and courage to get started despite mitigating circumstances.

      My well of gratitude goes to my wonderful family and close friends for their understanding and unrelenting support, most especially, my son, Joseph, for missing out on mom–son time.

      I’m also grateful to editor Kate McCarthy, all the way from South Africa, for her input and eagle-eyeing every detail.

      While thanking all, I accept full responsibility for any inadequacy that may inadvertently creep into this book.

      Testimonials

      Sarah Adenaike’s keen voice has the authenticity and observation borne of extensive experience in compliance. She knows her subject and shares the secrets you need to succeed in the work place. Whether you’re in your first job, a student seeking employment, or a long-time professional, Sarah’s rules of the road will help you meet your goals. She communicates in a straightforward way that makes this first-class read easily digestible and insightful. I wish I had read it years ago.
