12 Mar James Caan – Get The Job You Really Want | Book Review

In the throes of a recession, thousands of people have found themselves without employment; either falling victim to redundancy and other job-loss circumstances yielded by the economic downturn, or freshly graduating from school, college or university into a stark and hostile job market which sees employers able to force potential applicants through flaming hoops just for a shot at an entry-level position. Getting a job has never been more difficult - and getting one that you actually like is a whole new ball game. Enter James Caan, who became a familiar face after becoming a ‘dragon’ in BBC’s popular Dragon’s Den - a programme which offers novice entrepreneurs the chance to pitch to a panel of steely-faced business investors. With an extensive history in recruitment, Caan boasts of being a maverick in the business of getting jobs, stepping away from the traditional recruitment norms to yield results. Aiming to inform on how a job market drier than unbuttered toast can actually be an advantage for potential job-seekers, Caan's Get The Job You Really Want offers a step-by-step guide to finding a job, from spotting the opening to clenching the interview, using antidotes and examples from his own experiences.
