What's more exciting than picking up a book, reading the blurb and thinking, 'hey, isn't that about me?!'. Sometimes, it just happens. And okay, but I'm not a serial job-hopper but until I found my current job I was constantly in search of the dream career. Which is exactly what Ruby's looking for in Working It Out, the new book by Nicola May...
Ruby Matthews has a plan. Twelve jobs in twelve months, until she finds the one of her dreams...
After an unexpected redundancy, Ruby begins to question her priorities. Inspired by a quote from Kahlil Gibran about loving your work, she launches her mission to find the ideal job.
Her year of gainful (and sometimes painful!) employment includes nannying for clients in the South of France; dealing with embarrassing ailments in a Harley Street Clinic; waiting tables in a buzzy Soho cafe; and meeting the celebs of years gone by in a home for retired actors. And even though love is no longer top of her list, relationships just seem to start happening along the way - which sees her handing out some P45s of her own!
But will any of the jobs, or men she meets, see her dreams come true? Or will Ruby just end up back where she started?
