The Business Students Handbook Learning Skills for Study and Employment Fourth Edition Sheila Cameron More than just a study skills book! The Business Students Handbook integrates study, interpersonal and work skills to help students gain better marks in their studies and to transfer those skills for success in the workplace. The broad range of topics covered includes: Study skills such as essay writing, exam techniques and managing ones studies. Interpersonal skills such as working in teams, communicating and presenting. Work skills such as exploring problems, managing projects and improving creativity.

Examples of activities include quizzes on stress, time management and confidence. There are checklists for essay planning, job application and interviews, exercises on how to deconstruct exam questions and work with case studies, and basic maths and grammar helpfiles for practice and reference.
