2.0 out of 5 stars Sort of a fun waste of time, August 7, 2000
This review is from: The Career Discovery Project (Paperback)
This book certainly contains many exercises (list-making) for someone seeking career direction; but ultimately, I learned nothing from this book about myself. I don't know if it's because it doesn't dig deeply enough, or if the approach lacks a better structure; but, it did not help with my vocational search in the least. If anything, I felt more scattered when I finished it. Disappointing :(

1.0 out of 5 stars Complete waste of time!, June 8, 2006
By 
Pieter (Amsterdam, The Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Career Discovery Project (Paperback)
I concur with my fellow dutchman below: I read the Dutch translation of this book, and after finishing it, I couldn't see both the trees and the forest anymore. It is to much on detail, and lots of list making. Ultimately, I gained no understanding whatsoever from this book.

If you want to read a book that does work, go for "Do What You Are" by Paul Tieger and Barbara Barron-Tieger. If you already know your type, you want have to fill out many lists, and they take you right to your personal strengths and weak spots, from which you can gain a sense of generic direction to take with your career.
