About the authors

Jan's career began in the early 1970s after earning her master's degree in vocational rehabilitation counseling. For the past four decades she has been an expert witness in cases involving employability -- analyzing how individuals, with their education, experience, and interests, fit into the job market. During her career, she has prepared reports for thousands of court cases. She has been called on to evaluate and testify about earning capacity based on vocational qualifications and about "career fit." Jan also counsels adults and students. Until about two years ago, Jan worked primarily with people who were making a job change, specifically displaced workers and mid life career changers. During the last two years, she has been assisting more and more high school students and college graduates, who need assistance to find their career pathway.

Tracy's first job was working as an admission's counselor recruiting high school students college that opened her eyes to the career struggles students were facing. While meeting with these students and families, she quickly noticed how much time they would spend on the college admissions and financial aid and how little time was devoted to career planning. Nevertheless, career struggles would seem to sneak up on them at various stages in their college careers and often upon graduation. Watching this happen to student after student truly inspired her to take action and help create a solution.
Tracy began working with Jan Lowe on the CareerCode project in Minneapolis in 2003 and they've spent the last decade developing and honing the CareerCode book, system and workbooks. She is passionate about helping people find their way in the Labor Market. CareerCode's mission is to completely change how career counseling is done from high schools to colleges and even for career changers who are often experiencing the most agony in their current jobs. Please feel free to email her with any question and she would love your comments and participation on blog and website www.careercode.com and tracylungrin.com.

They first describe the interests at a high level: Realistic, Social, Investigative, Enterprising, Artistic, and Conventional. Instead of asking you to take a giant test which might overwhelm you, they simply ask you to rank the interests according to your preferences. What I especially enjoyed about the book is how they describe a wide variety of code combos. When looking at Investigative for example, they look at IA, IC, IR, IS, and IE, and they also provide specific examples of an occupation and a famous person fitting that code. They're also clear about discussing how the codes relate to job availability in the job market since some codes fit more jobs than others.
There are plenty of online personality and career tests, but it's difficult to find something which works quickly, accurately, and is marketed well. There are many people who are unfortunately unable to understand what their natural strengths are and how those strengths fit a specific career. This kind of book is needed more than ever. It's highly recommended for all ages and career interests.
You can do better. Shame on you. That is narrow minded and not helpful at all. If you had a discouraged AS come in, well they won’t feel better after reading your book.
I think your premise is good and the descriptions are helpful. But your “careers for” sections are LIMITING.
Remember, Holland’s codes are self reporting and are not set in stone. How terrible to pigeonhole someone and basically give them no hope. Haha sorry, you will be poor because that’s who you are!
