Description

Crack the UK Employability Codes and be the very best that you can be.

From Table Manners to Dress & Social Sense, Communication & Grammar, this is a comprehensive guide to the Codes that help the aspirational get the qualifications, jobs and social success they deserve. It reveals the secrets that the elite learn from birth and then use to keep others out. But now you’ll know how to use those same Codes to open opportunities whatever your background.

The UK Employability Codes unlock the ways to help you to feel comfortable as you move up to Further Education at Colleges and Universities and then to fitting in with the most demanding professional standards in the world’s greatest jobs in the most exciting cities. They break the unspoken barriers to your success and acceptance.

They support you just as well in the worlds of creativity and entrepreneurship, in IT, media or retail. Good manners and dress sense work everywhere

You’ll learn to understand the importance of how a man buttons his jacket and how high a woman’s heels should be. How to order in a restaurant. Why never to say ‘Me and him . . .’ or ‘Pleased to meet you’, how to shake hands properly and that even if some mistakes are overlooked you are never forgiven for eating with your mouth open.

The principle objective of this book is to allow the bright and aspirational who might be marginalised by social background or ethnicity to make their contribution to society and to national life, rather than being shut out just because they dress or behave differently.

Crack the Codes, break the unspoken barriers and be the very best that you can be.
