Getting a job in 2025 is no easy task. Something our founder Simon Bucknell knows only too well. He’s lived and breathed the employment market for more than 20 years finding jobs for thousands of people.
Simon’s brand new book – Stand Out, Get Hire – aims to offer support and guidance to anyone struggling to find their next role. Designed to arm you with the tools you need to succeed in today’s incredibly competitive job market. It’s a punchy, practical guide.
The book is available now in both paperback and Kindle formats on Amazon. Stand Out, Get Hired is the culmination of years of experience. As Simon himself puts it, it’s sprung from “scribbles, morning dog walks, hundreds of coaching calls, to late-night brain dumps…” – all distilled into a “cheeky little 94-page guide you can actually buy.”
Simon felt a clear need for a resource that cuts through the noise, in a market saturated with AI, LinkedIn complexities and a high volume of candidates, . This isn’t about simply applying harder; it’s about applying yourself smarter.
This compact guide is built for busy people who need actionable advice without wading through endless waffle. It’s the coffee companion you didn’t know you needed. This is for you if you’re actively job hunting, planning a career move, or simply looking to understand the nuances of job searching in 2025.
