Book Description

December 22, 1995 National Business Employment Weekly Career Guides (Book 10)
You probably spend one-third of your adult life at your job.

Is it what you really want to be doing with your life?

If you answered "no," you're not alone—millions of people feel the same way. But instead of remaining dissatisfied, why not seize the opportunity to turn your life around? This unique and dynamic book will help you do just that. Love Your Work and Success Will Follow is a systematic guide that helps you thoroughly assess how well your work life meets your needs and goals. It addresses such crucial issues as the relationship between success and satisfaction and how to integrate work needs with lifestyle concerns. It helps you decide whether to leave your job or stay, how to choose the right job, and how to survive in a job you want to keep.

Written by career counselor and psychotherapist Arlene Hirsch, Love Your Work and Success Will Follow provides a powerful mix of practical tips, probing self-quizzes, and pure inspiration:

  • Tells you how to overcome the most common obstacles to career fulfillment, including dealing with a difficult boss, burnout, changing careers, balancing career and family, and more
  • Describes positive ways to create a career that lives up to your dreams
  • Offers practical tips on how to make a bad job situation bearable
  • Outlines the nine types of career failures, and shows you how to turn them to your advantage
  • Explores the option of self-employment—is it right for you?
  • Provides 25 case studies of people who found job satisfaction

Love Your Work and Success Will Follow is an essential book for anyone interested in job satisfaction—regardless of your age, profession, or level of experience.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

The Wall Street Journal's National Business Employment Weekly (NBEW) has developed into one of the most important resources available to job searchers. Not only are its job listings vital, but the accompanying articles on job-hunting strategies offer sound, helpful advice. NBEW has compiled much of this advice in its series of "premier guides" on resumes, interviewing, and networking. Hirsch is a career counselor and out-placement consultant who teaches at DePaul University's School for New Learning in Chicago. She is the author of NBEW: Interviewing (1994); Love Your Work is the latest addition to the guide series. While it has a title and aim similar to Marsha Sinetar's still-in-demand "feel-good" self-discovery tool Do What You Love, the Money Will Follow (1987), Hirsch's guide is a more down-to-earth survival manual for today's unhappy, disillusioned worker. Hirsch puts responsibility for career satisfaction in the hands of the individual, arguing that one must overcome societal, parental, and employer-imposed strictures. David Rouse

From the Publisher

A noted career counselor presents the premise that overpassivity is a major obstacle to job satisfaction. Too many people live their lives according to societal, parental or even employer agendas rather than thinking through and acting upon their own unique strengths and visions. Hirsch explains how the implementation of a four-step career decision-making model--self-assessment, job market exploration, goal setting, evaluation-can be effectively applied throughout a person's career life cycle to increase positive potential. Features 50 case histories of people in various stages of their careers as well as interviews with other employment specialists.
