New book and DVD film ‘Go-Jonny-Go’
encourages under 25 year olds to take a more entrepreneurial approach
to career planning
This Saturday 20 November during National
Enterprise Week, sees the launch of ‘Go-Jonny-Go’ a
unique careers advice DVD and guidebook set for school-leavers,
graduates and first jobbers. Based on the real world requirements
of today’s work market, it provides expert careers information,
builds self-belief and helps people create an individual brand for
work.
'Go-Jonny-Go', written by career management expert Sally Campbell,
is the first ever careers advice guide which provides a feature-length
training film for the consumer. Together the guidebook and the film
offer young people an eight-step process for effective self-marketing
and act as personal trainer, coach and mentor throughout the early
career years.
West Sussex-based author Campbell says: “Young people can
benefit hugely from taking time to decide what makes them tick and
the skills they offer before carefully matching these to an employer’s
needs. With Tony Blair aiming for 50% of all school leavers to attend
university by 2010, the competition for jobs is getting tougher
and sound preparation and research is essential to get the work
you want. In response to this need, I wrote 'Go-Jonny-Go' with the
aim of fostering a more enterprising, self-reliant approach to the
world of work and career management.”
The 55 minute DVD film is a refreshing learning resource telling
the story of six college friends preparing for the job market, guided
by Randall, their ‘personal trainer’. Highlights of
the film are the good, the bad and the ugly of candidate interview
styles, views from employers and a section on the power of body
language to increase your interview or presentation impact.
Supporting the DVD, the Guidebook includes personal assessment exercises
vital for self-knowledge. It contains quotes from HR professionals
explaining what they want to hear from candidates and why. It looks
at an entrepreneurial approach to creative job finding, effective
ways to research and approach organisations, and how you can differentiate
yourself in a tough job market by being just 1% more accomplished
than your competitors.
The Go-Jonny-Go pack is published by Brand4Work
and will launch into all major retail book stores from Saturday
20 November. The pack retails at £24.99.
