I had this when I was nearing the end of my degree:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Skills-Succ...02045119&sr=1-4&keywords=personal+development

I found it helpful (although ultimately kind of irrelevant because I became self employed but never mind) and think anyone who knows anyone struggling to find work should definitely point them in the direction of this book!

http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-E-Myth-Revisited-Small-Businesses/dp/0887307280/ref=cm_lmf_tit_4

This is relatively helpful. I dipped in and out of it whilst setting up and it did give me some help not just business wise but how to develop as a person to make me the best that I can be.

Great suggestions so far! For those exploring professional development, I’d recommend “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho for its inspiring journey and “Mindset” by Carol Dweck for its focus on growth. What do you think?

"the young entrepreneur" by Goswami helped me when working on my business throughout my degree, helping me get in the mindset of being an individual thinker rather than being like my peers and going into the workforce
