 But I do know that this book is not going to help you find it... November 25, 2008

This book is a waste of time.
Basically, it has three disparate parts.
1. introduction. a bunch of negativity about why jobs suck in general, making you even more likely to puke than your job which is just boring would
2. skills, attitudes, values, etc. throws out a list of each of these, and asks you 'which are your best of each', and why. etc.
3. a chapter for each 'reason' why you might want to leave your job... then it attempts to logically convince you that the 'blockers' to why you wouldn't leave are not valid, and argues around them. for example, if you're afraid of financial insecurity, it tells you 'list several ways you can cut your expenses if need be'.
to me, this is really just a bunch of worthless dribble.
Definitely Used. November 17, 2008

When I finally opened this book to read and take the self-evaluation tests within, I was truly disappointed to find that the previous owner of the book had underlined and taken the tests - often in ink! When I choose a "nearly new," I don't expect this much marking of a book. Too bad.
 Over-rated October 8, 2008
N. Perz (St. Louis)
I can't believe how many people are giving this 5 stars. The various exercises are simplistic and redundant. Not much practical advise or inforamtion. I'm glad I only paid $0.97.
Not recommended.
 Finding the career you love January 17, 2008
April Mims
This is a great book for anyone considering a career change but doesn't quite know where to begin or how to decide what they want to be when they grow up. The book is filled with various self-assessments to help the reader determine particular strengths or interests. It begins by assessing where you are now and looking at where you would like to be. Next, the book moves on to how to get to where you want to be by using the self-assessments and offers the "keys" to success. The self-assessments are a valuable tool to the reader.
MAKING LIFE EASIER FOR JOB HUNTERS November 30, 2007

The Renaissance Soul: Life Design for People with Too Many Passions to Pick Just One This book, even the title alone!, is a great comfort for those of us who find it easier to say what we don't want to do than to identify the next right position for us. And if you're like me and have lots of different interests, any five of which might sound just fine today as long as we can pick five more tomorrow, the job of identification can be even harder. It's great to have the support of a book like Jansen's to make our daunting task a little easier.
