5.0 out of 5 stars A new insight into careers, 15 July 2011
This review is from: The Career Explorer's Journal (Kindle Edition)
"I know of no explorer who once having reached his or her goal, has not wanted to go out and explore some more"- Susan Jeffers, Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway

The Career Explorer's Journal is one of the most stimulating, inspiring and simple books to help anyone wishing to make progress in their work and life.
I discovered this book through a series of happy coincidences, at a time when I was uncertain about my future. By reading the book and applying the techniques, I am now much clearer about how I can take control of the choices which lie ahead.
The idea is simple, by imagining you are an explorer, embarking upon a voyage of discovery, you are encouraged to pay attention to detail and record your findings, uncovering meaningful and sometimes surprising findings along the way.
Through investigating, your Values, Talents and Goals, you can consider a deeper understanding of what's important to you, what you're good at and what keeps you going- all vital aspects to a more fulfilling and satisfying career.
There are lots of practical tools and entertaining examples from real life people to show you how to explore your own career journey and consider what this means to you, in the past , present and future.
The Career Explorer's Journal really spoke to me in an engaging, reassuring and forgiving manner, helping me to build on my strengths and develop a positive attitude towards my current and future job seeking actions.
I would strongly recommend that you read this book and begin to ask yourself the questions it poses. As you record your thoughts and feelings and re-consider these alongside the perceptions of others, you will piece together a collection of insights into yourself that you never would have believed possible. As I have gathered my evidence, I now have my own personal treasure to draw upon as a positive influence when facing every day choices and more far reaching life changing decisions. It has helped me to shape new goals, which I know I will continue to develop with the support of The Career Explorer's Journal.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Personalized Guide for Exploring Career Development, 11 Feb 2011
By K. Rollins - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Career Explorer's Journal (Kindle Edition)
I found out about this handbook after working directly with its author, Paul Diamond, extensively on career related issues. He regularly helps me with career and personal advice, and having this journal at the ready is great for having that support system whenever I need it!

This book is my goto source for when I'm confronted with a work related issue. The book is real because its full of real experiences. Its NOT one of those cheesy self-help books with a guy in a snazzy suit, white teeth and slick hair saying 'wanna be like me, buy this book' and Thank God! Paul keeps it real with his refreshing perspective which I know comes from thousands of hours interviewing unhappy execs during his time at KFI. He knows the importance of gaining a mindfulness of your own values, talents, and goals - and this book helps me stay focused on these three realms of my life and how best to keep them aligned. When I find myself in challenging situations, its usually because one or more of my values, talents and goals are out of whack and after a quick read through a chapter or two I'm reminded of my own journey and tend to find MY path quickly.

If you want a real book with real stories of real journeys which may or may not inspire you, but will definitely help you know that you are not alone, start reading his blog and pickup this book. More than anything The Career Explorers Journal reminds me its ok if I don't have it all figured out because there are others who are just like me and they are finding out their own way - not some idealistic and templated form of success. It helps me when I need it most and I hope it helps you too.
