If you really work the exercises in this book, you will have the groundwork of a great resume

I first bought this book about 40 years ago? It helped me commit to paper all the things I liked, and the things I was most proud of. From this book, I discovered things about myself and talents I have that I would not have recognized without the book. I worked hard at this book, if I remember correctly, for a week. It was time well spent, because as a young college grad, I started my resume with two-single spaced typed pages which, I then edited down. In those early years, I was asked by a few potential employers who I hired to write my resume. I don’t think they believed me when I told them I wrote it myself. I used quotes from college professors and former bosses to flesh out my skills. When you don’t have much experience, you need examples like that to prove your worth. If you are the president of a successful company, you may only need one sentence. I cannot recommend the exercises in this book enough. Buy it. Any version of it. It will get you started on a great resume

Helps with direction

Purchased for a team member struggling with direction.

not for older people looking to develop their mission

This is a great book for younger job seekers, who are unsure about their mission in life. For those retired from full time work but looking for something new to create, only one chapter is useful.

Good information

I purchased this book for a class. I have learned a lot from it and recommend it to anyone who is transitioning from college to the job world or if your someone like me changing your career after COVID and college into a new field.

Great book for career insight

Really great book designed to give you perspective on your career outlook and choices. It helped me narrow down that I want out of a job, how to identify my strengths and weaknesses, and ways to interview and network. It comes with a ton of resources as well. It’s concise and I worked through it in about a month and a half. Highly recommend.

Good as original

I bought the latest copy of this book but it really hasn’t changed from the one I had 20 years ago. It just looks nicer. I still think it is thought provoking. If you have an older copy I wouldn’t recommend buying a new one unless you just want a clean copy to work with again.

Still good for figuring out your goals

I read this 40 years ago and it helped me realize what types of activities could make work less “work” and more fulfilling. Bought this new version for my 25 yr old son who is still trying to find his path.
