Book overview
Finding work involves preparation, confidence and the ability to keep going after setbacks. Employment Workbook brings those tasks into a structured resource designed with people who have offended in mind.
Jonathan Hussey and Jo Richardson cover the search for employment or education, exploring career interests, preparing a CV and gathering information needed for applications. The publisher also identifies disclosure of convictions and managing rejection as part of the book’s scope.
This combination is its clearest practical attraction: it brings the administrative work of applying for opportunities together with the motivation needed to pursue them. For a practitioner, it offers a framework for breaking a broad goal into more manageable conversations and tasks.
Although written for probation work, the publisher describes wider relevance for people seeking a new career. It is a title to consider for sessions focused on preparation and direction. Published in 2013, its discussion of conviction disclosure should be read alongside current guidance for the relevant application and jurisdiction.
