Product Description
Product Description
This completely revised edition updates the rapidly expanding career opportunities in socially responsible and green business, industry, commerce, and non-profits. Unlike traditional career guides that focus on defining skill areas, the book focuses on personal, social, and environmental values as the driving force for career decisions. Expanded and updated self-assessments, exercises, and visualisations point the reader toward defining their personal area of commitment. Whether you are a new job-seeker, job-changer, or someone who would like to make a difference right where they are, this book is the definitive "how-to-make-it-happen" guide for anyone who wants to customise their work lives to reflect their values more fully.

This is one of the best career guides ever written., 11 Nov 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Making a Living While Making a Difference: The Expanded Guide to Creating Careers with a Conscience (Paperback)
Melissa Everett has done all of us a great service by writing this book. Her ten-step process alone is worth the price of admission. As a career advisor with The Environmental Careers Organization, I tell anyone interested in a socially-responsible career - get this book!

Biased towards environmental careers and not much else, 8 Sep 2002
By I. Das "Das" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Making a Living While Making a Difference: The Expanded Guide to Creating Careers with a Conscience (Paperback)
I'm going to offer a point of view different from the rest. I think this book focusses almost exclusively on environmental issues, and practically equates "making a difference" to "saving the environment". Well, yes, there are remarks about "improving society", but no clear path to doing any of those things. (...) The book does not contain any lead into careers that address world poverty or undernourished children or any of the other burning issues that affect the world everyday, unlike a dwindling dolphin population. Not that I don't think that a dwindling dolphin population is an important issue, but it is less important than starving children groping through some rubble heap in search of food. In fact, unless that part of the "starving population" is reeled out of poverty, they will continue to have dire impact on the environment faster than any socially-responsible fund manager can write out "green" dividend checks. This book provides "first-world denizens" the distorted view that fixing environmental issues is all there is to it (and calls itself "The Expanded Guide"). This is most likely related to the author's own background and focus on environmental issues. But it doesn't measure up for me.

Excellent!, 18 Oct 2000
By Ron Mader "Planeta.com Founder" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Making a Living While Making a Difference: The Expanded Guide to Creating Careers with a Conscience (Paperback)
(From Planeta Journal) - This is a guide to "creating careers with a conscience." Can we ask for anything less? Authored by Melissa Everett, this second edition is an excellent resource guide for anyone interested in making the world a better place. The book provides a 10-step program for career development and offers advice to career counselors. It is an imaginative and valuable tool for anyone thinking about their career. Highly recommended.
