Straight from the horse's mouth
Why should you believe a writer or publisher telling you what it's like to be a doctor? With Career FAQS, you don't have to believe us, because you can trust the 25-plus employees, employers and recruiters from the industry. Who better to tell you the best and worst than the person doing the job?
Work–life balance
Is it possible to have a social life working in investment banking? Do all IT professionals work on weekends? Each book has a focus on work–life balance, so you can tell whether you'll still be able to play sport on Monday nights and have drinks on Fridays. The 'My week' which follows each interview gives a brief overview of that person's work–play ratio.
I know what I want
So you know what you want to be. Career FAQs books tell you specifically about the advantages and downsides, recruitment processes, skills required, latest developments and trends for your planned career. How has the industry changed? What are the common misconceptions about what you want to do? Find out all this and more.
