This review is from: Career Moves: Take Charge of Your Training Career Now! (Paperback)

Very disappointing. There's nothing in this book that you can't find in hundreds of other Career books. Furthermore, there's nothing in this book specific to training careers...nothing to guide you on any unique characteristics of the field.

It's just not worth the money. Better to get an old copy of What Color Is Your Parachute.

Very interesting way to look at Career training needs. I used it for a college class but it would be useful for anyone interested in career planning.
