This section is provided to indicate what we term as 'People Dealing' in the work environment, and includes all  contacts made within the work environment.

It is aimed to provide insights for inexperienced candidates of the types of situations that may arise as a result of their intention to achieve  career goals.

Possessing creative abilities and good academic qualifications are not enough to operate successfully in any arena. Research regularly indicates that a workforce needs to be content if it is to work both efficiently and effectively for the common good of a business or institution.

The Key Tasks indicated in the tables alongside provide an overview of an employers expectations of the actions an employee will be required to perform. This overview should be considered merely as a start point for candidates who are considering a career in this arena.

Work lifestyles are an  important aspect of any career as they occupy a significant percentage of our lives. For this reason Sell Yourself Recruitment Ltd has chosen to highlight other factors likely to weigh heavily found in any career path.

By making candidates aware of the potential work lifestyle challenges encountered via People Dealing  we hope to equip them with an awareness they might only have gained through experience - good or bad. A necessity to provide this information stems from the fact that People Dealing plays significantly not only in the workplace but also in the home. The term 'we are what we eat' is easily mirrored by our intention to work at a career that is good for us rather than one that is simply a tool for income.

Sell Yourself Recruitment believes that being employed in a job that you detest is harmful to your health.

Many work lifestyle challenges found in the engineering arena will also be repeated in other disciplines, it is essential that any decision to opt for a career (20 to 40 years) in a particular field is decided upon with as much understanding of what to expect as can be passed on.
