Why step-by-step beats general advice
Most career advice tells you what to do without telling you how. These guides are the opposite — every step concrete enough that you can follow it without needing to interpret. If a step says "rewrite the personal profile", it tells you exactly what to write and what to remove. Grounded in how UK hiring actually works.
