What is the world of work?

An overused phrase which means nothing?

In some circumstances maybe but not in this case. The Open University's World of Work provides pages of learning materials as well as useful mini case-studies on human resource management and work issues, eg. living in other countries, working mothers and motivation. There are also links to many other OU management pages.

Not intend, as far as I can tell, as a careers information site that is certainly what you could find yourself using it as. You'll need to take time to explore the different options and evaluate the information for yourself -- what I saw looked really useful.

Quite how I've had this hanging around from November last year I really don't know but "better late than never".
