A practical, step-by-step career guide by Talentbank's CEO Ben Ho, written for school leavers, students and young graduates finding their way into work.
Ben Ho has spent almost 20 years helping graduates become genuinely employable and connecting them to the employers who hire. The Career Playbook captures the lessons, the mistakes and the strategies he has seen first-hand, written plainly for people who are just starting out. It was soft-launched in the presence of the Deputy Minister of Higher Education, a mark of its place in the national conversation on employability.
How to pick a university and course with employability, not prestige, in mind.
Spotting the high-growth industries worth building a career towards.
The in-demand employability skills that make you genuinely hireable.
CVs, interviews and the job-application process, step by step.
Growing in your role, building confidence and learning to manage people.
The common early-career mistakes, and how to sidestep them.
The Playbook follows a clear, step-by-step framework rather than vague advice. Whether you are a school leaver weighing options, a student preparing to graduate, in your first job, or resetting your direction, it gives you a real sense of what to do next.
