If you've always wanted a career mentor but have not been able to find one then keep reading...You've been told how valuable a mentor can be for your career but where are they all, and how do you find them?Have you waited for someone to take you under their wing and propel you forward in your career, only to find this mystical figure doesn't exist - well, for you anyway?Do you finally want to secure the mentorship you've been craving for your career and discover something that actually works for you?If so, then this book is for you.You see, the truth is that despite being aware of how important a career mentor is for a successful career, very few people actually benefit from mentors and most people are unable to find one at all and have to navigate their careers alone.A survey by CNBC revealed that 90% of workers who have a career mentor are happy in their jobs and 40% of workers without one consider quitting their jobs.Another article by Forbes illustrated that 76% of people think mentors are important yet only 37% of people have one.It's incredibly frustrating to know the value a career mentor can bring you only to be left isolated and unable to secure one. This book was written to help plug that gap.Here's a tiny fraction of what you'll learn: - The value of formal work experience and work placements and what to do if you're among the majority of people who won't benefit from such opportunities- Why simply preparing hard for interviews is distracting you from what employers really want to see from candidates- Why you are getting stuck in jobs and not receiving promotions you deserve- The real meaning of personal growth and the 3 zones you need consider to make growth actually happen for YOU.- How to avoid the biggest career killer - Burnout- Why you're ok with not being famous, while still being able to use the tricks that made famous people successful- How to use setbacks as one of the keys to unlocking your pathway to career superstardom

The Austin Seven was a hugely important arrival on the British motoring scene in 1922, its low price making car ownership available to a section of the public for whom this had earlier been a cost too far. It was cheap to run thanks to its small engine, and its simplicity did not frighten those new to the mechanics of a car.

Featuring more than 200 colour photographs, this book covers the complete history of the Aston Martin Vanquish and DB9.

When the Range Rover was launched in 1970 it immediately drew attention. Its elegant but practical design mixed with exceptional off-road handling, as well as comfort on metalled roads, seemed to introduce a whole new way of driving. The Louvre museum in Paris exhibited it as a model of industrial design. Fifty years later, the Range Rover continues to be in demand. In this comprehensive book, Rover expert James Taylor covers all of the Range Rover models from the 1970s 'classic' to the fifth generation Range Rover of today. The book covers the remarkable engineering achievements of Land Rover in developing a vehicle just as at home on rugged hillsides as it was on the streets of Chelsea. He follows the developments that made the Range Rover ever more in demand as a luxury status symbol. This book will appeal to all Range Rover enthusiasts, offering concise but comprehensive coverage of one of the most admired British cars.

The love affair between the Royal Family and their Land Rovers. This book brings to life an essential part of our motoring and Royal history.

Launched in 2001, the second generation Mini, produced by BMW, was an instant success. Based on a design brief that stated that it could only be a Mini, the new car remained faithful to its heritage while offering numerous benefits, including increased size, engine power and performance. It also set new standards in refinement. In this readable book motoring expert James Taylor takes a multi-perspective look at the BMW Mini to give the reader a complete view of the many aspects of design, development, engineering and marketing that went into producing a highly successful range of new models under the Mini brand. The book explores how BMW has always been careful to retain the heritage of the original Mini and its variants as it continued to introduce subtle but significant changes to the three-door hatch while expanding its range of models to include the SUV Countryman and the Paceman. The book also covers the introduction of new engines and fuel options, including hydrogen and electric. Designed by an American for a German motor company but largely still built in Oxford, England, this is a complete picture of one of the world's most successful cars.

The 1960s and 1970s were a pivotal period for Ford in Europe and, seen from a British perspective, were a time of experimentation and exploration. At the start of the 1960s Ford had models aimed at just two market sectors – small family saloons and large family saloons – but by the end of the 1970s they were represented in no fewer than five areas of the market with small hatchbacks, small saloons, medium saloons, sporty coupés and large saloons. And they had overtaken all rivals in Britain to be the best-selling manufacturer with (since 1967) the Cortina as the best-selling car. With over 270 photographs, this book details: the Ford company structure, businesses and key locations throughout the two decades; the factors influencing model design, engineering, styling and interior; specification and performance tables; market reception and sales; special editions, models produced overseas and conversions and finally, helpful buying advice for each model.
