A practical guide filled with worksheets, quick tips, and questions designed to help you find your most fulfilling career options,
Heart and Soul Career Tune-Up is the third title in the Heart and Soul series, and one that makes a terrific gift for graduates or other folks looking to get more happiness out of their workdays. Beyond the many useful job-finding techniques that cover artful résumés, proper methods of follow-up, and accurate pricing of yourself in the marketplace, the majority of the book focuses on such generalities as maintaining a positive attitude during your job hunt and dealing effectively with stress. Using the Meyers-Briggs personality test, positive thinking exercises, and meditation techniques, this is not your typical career guide, and it may feel a bit "touchy-feely" for those used to a drier style. But authors Chuck Cochran and Donna Peerce have written a guide that nearly everyone can use in some way. For example, the first chapter on "checking your alignment" is especially useful to employees wondering whether they're working for the right company. The chapter has you describe everything from an ideal boss to the company's marketing plan and future goals, as well as your personal goals in life. The results make it easier for you to examine your options more objectively--perhaps it really
is time to move on. As Peerce and Cochran say, "When you are doing what you love, you are doing what you were meant to do in life."
