I bought this book because I was in the process of changing jobs and I was not sure, at first, if I would actually complete all of the exercises shown here. My previous pattern had been to read through books like this and ignore half of the exercises.
I am so glad that I perservered. This book is full of self-assessments and questionnaires that can help you to discover what your current goals are and what environment is best for you. I've read career books before and I've tried to do ... Read More

The formula for the current career management books is: (1) start with self assessment (accomplishments, skills, values, strengths); (2) analysis of where you fit best -- what tyep of profession, organization, etc.; and (3) how to manage career challenges.

Much of this book is available for free on web sites such as Montser.com and Career Builder. If you can find it used great, but I do not recommend it new.
The sections about writing cover letters and resumes are pretty standard. Again, this info is just a click away if you use Google. For goal setting, read something by Zig Ziglar or the likes. For working on your self-esteeem read Jack Canfield or the classic book by Jason McClure, "How to find your dream job and make it a reality."

What Next is easy to read, interesting, and not at all condescending - how sick are you of reading books like that? But it does require some work and effort, like anything of value would. I would have to say "What Next" is the ultimate ... Read More

Lot's of people wrestle with issues and questions at different points on the journey through personal and career life - "What are my options?" "How should I proceed?" "What will happen if I fail?" "How can I become a better parent, colleague, friend, partner, etc." I have spent years working with people who are exploring these kind of questions; they are different and uniquely personal for each individual. Many despair the effort because there are so many important variables to consider that the prospect ... Read More
