Put Your Mindset to Work: The One Asset You Really Need to Win and

What's the real secret of successful job hunters?

In these unstable times, everyone wants to stand out from the crowd and secure a rewarding job with long-term potential. But what does it actually take to get the job you want? Ninety-seven percent of employers argue that it goes beyond having the right skills - it's all about the right mindset.

James Reed, chairman of recruitment giant Reed, knows what employers really want from the people they hire and promote. With bestselling author Paul Stoltz, he has now identified exactly what makes you more likely to succeed when you're job hunting.

In this book, Reed and Stoltz explain the '3G Mindset' - the way to develop the traits that will set you apart from the herd. Their powerful tools will help you assess your own mindset, and show employers your true value.

James Reed is the Chairman of REED, the recruitment specialists. Every year, REED places hundreds of thousands of people into temporary and permanent work across a number of disciplines around the world. James first joined the company in 1991 after graduating from Harvard Business School. In the twenty years since then REED has more than quadrupled in size. The company's first website, reed.co.uk, has grown to become the #1 job site in the UK and the biggest job site in Europe. It now receives over 20 million job applications a year. REED also delivers welfare to work programmes that have helped more than 100,000 people who had been long-term unemployed back into work.
