4.0 out of 5 stars Can take you from a frozen standstill to a heavy jog in 1 wk, February 12, 1999
By A Customer
So many great exercises and techniques to help people focus and find what they want to do. Once focused, there are helpful guides to getting interviews, writing resumes, turning interviews into offers, and then negotiating the offers. Above all, however, it really helped to lay out long term goals. My next step doesn't have to be the "dream job", it just needs to get me closer to my long term goals. Frankly, I am not prepared for my long term goals yet - but at least now I have them!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Resource, December 27, 2001
By G. J Wiener (Westchester, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
A very good resource for these crazy times of frequent job changes. Kate Wendleton is right on the money when she states that most people will have up to fifteen jobs and five careers in their working lives.

Many of the exercises are quite helpful. The seven stories analysis can tune one in on some hidden talents. The Special Interests List can certainly clue one in and where a person can direct his or her job search. Satisfiers/Disasitifers, 40 Year Vision, and Ideal Scene Worksheets if nothing else can put a frustrated job seeker in a good mood and re-invigorate some badly needed focus.

The sections on job targeting are indeed helpful. This sections works with geographic issues as well as industry and job function matters as well. Company attributes and personal attributes are a detailed level are discussed quite well here.

The research sections and internet listings cap off a wonderful resource for anyone in the midst of a career change. Kate Wendleton even sells her services in an appropriate way without an excessive amount of hype. I will most certainly read through Wendleton's other books, Interviewing And Salary Negotiation as well as Getting Interviews. Kate is most certainly in tune with todays ever changing employment market.

4.0 out of 5 stars Insightful!, March 26, 2001
The mantra has been repeated so often that it's become a cliché: Worker loyalty has disappeared, making every job temporary. Author Kate Wendleton repeats the obvious facts about the increasingly transient work force, but goes beyond the apparent as she supplies inventive ways to approach your career decisions. Her most intriguing suggestion is that you should use a "Seven Stories Approach" to develop your "Forty-Year Vision." The stories help you discover what you're really passionate about so you can build a long-term vision to guide you meaningfully through your career. While the book is repetitious at times, it offers useful examples of job hunters who used Wendleton's tactics to improve their careers. We [...] recommend this book to anyone who is interested in a fresh approach to career change, and to human resource professionals who want to know how applicants are (or should be) thinking.
