About Career FAQs
Career FAQs is the home of quality, fact-filled career resources. If you have questions about your dream career path, we have the answers. We have a book for every job imaginable – with prospects,
prerequisites, salaries, conditions, lifestyles, career paths, and
been-there-done-that war stories from industry veterans. You can read
many interviews with professionals in a range of careers on our website.
Career FAQs books have an Australian focus but much of our content is
very relevant to the global job market. Many of the people profiled in
our books are working all over the world – in the UK, North America,
Asia and Europe. And our résumé and cover letter advice, and interview
tips, will help you get the job you want, no matter where you live.
Once upon a time, people started in a job when they finished school
– or graduated from uni – and toiled away in that job whether they
liked it or not for 40-odd years until retirement.
Times have changed. The job-for-life concept no longer exists – now
most people change jobs and even industries several times during their
working lives. Portfolio careers are all the go!
People now have more work options than ever before. Those dream jobs have never been more attainable.
However, for young people starting out – and for those considering a
major career change – the options can seem overwhelming. Making
decisions that will affect your job options down the track can be a
very stressful process.
In the past there was no single source of market-specific career
information that has been specifically tailored to the Australian
market. Career FAQs books are now filling that gap.
With practical information and dozens of interviews with working
professionals in Australia right now, you’ll hear first-hand how to get
your foot in the door – and keep it there.
