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.
