I expected more from the text, based on the title. The material seems to reflect the job market of 10 years ago - little reference to what's happening in the industry today that job seekers need to know. The text places heavy emphasis on the self-concept and values which are important, but skills the person has and how they relate to positions in the workplace are of utmost importance. An individual may have interest in a career field, but it could be one that's fading not emerging. I was expecting a book that would allow the reader to insert new ideas and new strategies right into a job search. The book may suffice as a supplemental reading, but not as a tutorial on establishing a career and finding a job. It lacks vision. I felt it was analog thinking in a digital world.

I didn't think this book was all that great really. The exercises in the book were tedious and lengthy. It didn't really help me discover a career.

This book was really helpful in taking a look at careers and options. Check-the-box worksheets and easy to understand guides and resources were handy!

The book was very late. I missed homework assignments and quizzes because i had no book to use. Do not recommend the seller. But the book was in good condition as described.

I bought the book for my guidance class and used it to study for every test. So far this book has been a real help for me. :)

I just took a summer career class with this book and I highly recommend it. It validated the good things that I have done to be successfully, introduced me to new things and it reminded me of what I already new. Great book if you are lost and a highly recommended class if you don't know what you want to do in your career, changing careers or have come to a point in your life that it is necessary to change careers.

This Book I got for a class, and it's great, not only to follow along with in a course but also just for everyday life, it provides great questions for thought and interactive exercises to learn more about yourself and what you want in life!

This product came exactly in what condition it said it was in. It also came in the mail very promptly.
