Excellent Guide - not just for "Dummies"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book helped me identify interests and figure out where to focus. Don't let the "for Dummies" title dissuade you from choosing this book. This is the best career book/workbook that I have found. It really helps you identify your interests (along with the other usually metioned career aspects such as values and skills) in excercises that are broken down small enough not to be intimidating or overwhelming. The excercises then build on each other in a useful, practical way. What's more, the book then goes on to list actual jobs by category for you to think about. This is again, much more managable and helpful than having to go explore jobs on-line where the information and options are too overwhelming.
Most comprehensive book on the subject for adults

I've read many books on the subject of changing careers and have found this to be the most comprehensive. It not only includes a thorough self-assessment section, but includes a list of careers with resources for further information. Everything is presented in logical, easy to follow steps and categories. I am teaching career exploration class and will suggest each participant get this book.
