5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT book!!!!, October 9, 2007

By	critters - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)

This review is from: The Everything Career Tests Book: 10 Tests to Determine the Right Occupation for You (Everything Series) (Paperback)

I found this book to be a very comprehensive, practical guide; to me, the feel is that it's geared more toward mid-lifers than kids just starting out. In fact, they include suggestions ranging from helping those who need a little adjusting of their current job situation to a complete career makeover. The tests are short and uncomplicated, but, in my case, they were amazingly valid. The "bad manager" list (p. 154 and 155) is not only funny but oh-so-true.

This book is so good that I'll be returning the library copy and ordering my own; it's too good to let go.

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay, but much of the same, July 16, 2008

This review is from: The Everything Career Tests Book: 10 Tests to Determine the Right Occupation for You (Everything Series) (Paperback)

This book compbines many career tests such as your vaules (you will have to do a lot of thinking about that one) and whether or not you like to live in a hot or cold climate, and I believe it has the Myers-Brigg in it as well. I'm not sure about that one. All I know is that I lost interest in this book after chapter 6. It is all of the same old same ole. What do YOU want to do? What CAN you do? Do you have the skills and if not, get those skills (Just because you have skills, does not mean that you ENJOY using those skills all of the time) and go to college to get your degree for what it IS that you want to DO. I suggest reaading StrengthsFinder 2.0 by Mr. Rath and The Secret. Those two books will do you more good than any other career book.
