Product Description
DO YOU JUMP OUT OF BED EVERY MORNING AND RUSH TO A JOB YOU LOVE?
Or is the work you once enjoyed now just a way to pay the bills? Perhaps you're even doubting your career choice altogether. Let "The Pathfinder" guide you to a more engaging, fulfilling work life. Based on breakthrough techniques developed by Rockport Institute, an innovative and award-winning career-counseling network that has changed the lives of over 10,000 people, "The Pathfinder" offers invaluable advice and more than 100 self-tests and diagnostic tools that will help you choose an entirely new career -- or view a current job from a new, more positive perspective. You'll learn:
* How to design your new career direction step by step so that it fits your talents, personality, needs, goals, values, and is, at the same time, practical and attainable
* How to deal successfully with the "yeah but" voices in your head that keep you going back to the same old ill-fitting job, day after day
* How to land the perfect job in your new field, plus tips on writing a really exceptional resume, personal marketing, and networking (even for those who hate to network)
Whether you're a seasoned professional in search of a career change or a beginner just entering the working world, you want to make the right choices from the beginning. No matter where you are in your journey, if you want work to be more of a dance than a drag, "The Pathfinder" will expertly coach you through the process of designing a career you will love.

Format:Paperback
Lore's comments are not only full of genuinely useful insights, but are a joy to read. His exercises are the best I have found in helping the reader to "know thyself." What I particularly appreciated was Lore's encouragement and honesty, because some of the exercises are hard work. Another refreshing change in his approach is that he has you taking advantage of your weaknesses rather than ignoring them or making unrealistic promises to improve in the future. He is also honest enough to tell you that if his book does not work for you, find one that does. Nicholas Lore does not claim to have all the answers or own THE ONE TRUE WAY to find your career, but he has some extraordinary exercises and insights you will find in no other book.

If you're at a cross-roads in your career - either because you're about to choose your vocation for the first time, or you're in a job you don't enjoy, this is the book for you. Its as good as having a personal coach, at a fraction of the cost! Its a workbook as well as an inspiring read. So, if you want to get results and you're prepared to take action, this book is more than value for money, its an investment!

Format:Paperback
... This book could have been condensed into about a quarter of the size, but why use one word when 27 will suffice? Nicholas Lore manages to go for pages at a time without actually saying anything. And then repeats himself several more times for good measure. The inquiries (of which there are 31 to be exact) seem like a good idea but I found them to be extremely long-winded, time-consuming and of very little practical use. A reasonably intelligent person could work it all out for themselves in a fraction of the time. The only sections I found useful were the ones at the end on networking and writing a CV. But these sections are useful in getting a job once you know what you want, not in helping you to decide what you want to do. Not recommended.
