Book Review: What Really Matters For Young Professionals- Gary Ryan.
I was lucky enough to win one of the three books as part of the summer reading giveaway, please see my review and thoughts below. Ryan has written an easy to digest book that clearly outlines some great strategies that will assist young professionals to adjust to the professional world of work and maximise their performance in the workplace as an early career professional.

Profile Information
- About Me:
- I currently work as a Career Development Consultant at Curtin University within the Careers Centre. Outside of work I have a keen interest in health and fitness, having been involved in surf life saving my whole life. I also go scuba diving regular during crayfish season, enjoy bike riding and generally outdoor activities.
- What type of work do you do?
- Career Development Practioner
- What leadership/career/community activities have you been involved in?
- In my employment I assist current and recent graduate students with making effective career decisions and engaging in career building activities to assist the transition to graduate employment. In 2010 I also volunteered to lead two groups as part of John Curtin Weekend, which involves groups of the Curtin community (students, staff, alumni) going to country towns across the South West of WA to participate in a range of activities. In the two groups I lead, I was responsible for co-ordinating and ensuring the safety and welfare for all participants as volunteers for the annual Kulin bushracces as well taking a group of volunteers to Rockingham to participate in tree planting and environmental activities.
I have also been an active member of Trigg Surf Life Saving club since 1999 and prior to that at Floreat Surf Life Saving club. Whilst I have previously held co-ordinator and patrol captain roles, as a long service patrol member I replace rostered patrol members, when they are unable to attend their rostered voluntary patrol.
