Format:Paperback
I wasn't expecting to learn much from this book as I have been obsessing about my career options for many years and have tried a number of different careers. However, I found the 'Who are you?' tests to be a revelation - I thought I knew what my strengths were but discovered that some of the things that I considered as secondary strengths were actually my key strengths and vice versa. I found this much more useful than the Myers-Briggs test. As I am currently changing careers I found this very valuable as this test alone flagged up the best career choice(s) for me.

Here's a novelty - a book about career planning that has something new to say.
John Lees begins by tackling the agonising debate that one has with oneself over the dissatisfaction with the current job.Then chapter by chapter he walks you through not just "The dream job!" but the practicalities of how much one must earn, what skills and personality one brings to the table for a potential employer.
The primary value in this book is that it's not a comfortable "get rich quick book". The exercises and thought processes that John takes you through are superbly designed to make you think through your options and your marketability to an employer clearly and truthfully.
The chapter (11) on creative job search strategies is particularly useful as it debunks many of the job hunting myths that persist. Other chapters deal with CV creation, using social media to find a job, attending interviews and even changing career.
As a coach and mentor that integrates senior executives into a new job I will be recommending this book as a "Must buy and read"
