The Energy &
Well-being Pocketbook
Did you bounce into work
this morning, brimming with energy and new ideas? Or did you drag
yourself in, tired and mentally drained? The Energy &
Well-being Pocketbook will show you how to work more healthily
and boost your energy, drive and enthusiasm. With a background in
the health sector and a Masters degree in exercise and health
services, author Gillian Burn begins her keep-fit class by
demonstrating how to carryout an energy and well-being audit which
will help readers establish their personal well-being goals.
What we eat and the space in which we
work are key to boosting energy levels. The author describes how
food can stimulate the brain and relieve stress, and how plants,
colour, sound, lighting and other factors can contribute to the
creation of an energy-boosting work environment. Of course, physical
exercise cannot be ignored. There is advice on poise/posture,
breathing, taking energy-boosting breaks and a range of activities
that can be carried out, including desk exercises. In conclusion
there are sections on work/life balance and on how to create a
well-being and energy action plan.

The Succeeding at Interviews
Pocketbook will boost your confidence in preparing for and
attending job selection interviews (internal and external) and
assessment centres. It is suitable for anyone seeking a new post,
from school leavers upwards. The foundation of successful interviews
is thorough preparation. The author explains what research you
should carry out and how to anticipate what those advertising the
post are looking for. The importance of rehearsals and visualisation
is also stressed.
Deep breath…now for the interview! There is
advice on how to enter the room, how to answer questions, what
questions to ask and how to create a positive impression. Employers
are increasingly relying on assessment centres to meet their
recruitment needs. Such centres use a range of tools to test
applicants’ suitability, including psychometric tests, role play and
group exercises. Each different type of test is described and there
is advice on how to prepare for and successfully undertake
them.
