Strike a New Career Deal

Carole Pemberton

Originally written as a self help book for those wanting to take stock of their career, it is used by many career coaches to help them in working with clients. Central to the book is the idea of career as a series of deals between an individual and their employer. Making a career work is about recognising when a deal has run out of steam and it is time to create a new one.

The book offers exercises which can be used within a career coaching relationship to help the client take control of their career future.
