Product Description

Review
'Career seeker: know thyself' is the message of this useful guide to making the most of your time in work. The point being that to prosper in a career you have to find the sort of work that suits your personality type. If you find yourself in work that does not suit you, personally, then your career will stall and you will soon grow frustrated. At which point Barbara Moses steps in to offer guidance. The author runs her own human resources consultancy and has already published widely on this subject, albeit for a more specialised corporate market. What Next? is clearly intended for a more general audience; indeed, for anyone feeling that a change is due but unsure about how to take that next step.

Endorsement
Christine Barwell, HR Manager and graduate recruiter, PricewaterhouseCoopers
"Give this book to every student who is thinking about their future."

5.0 out of 5 stars Best career book ever!, 7 Nov 2003
By William M Jones (Bristol, England) - See all my reviews
Whether you are just entering the job market or looking for more fulfilling work, this book will help you. Self-assessment, job search advice, how to work through a career crisis . . . What Next? has it all. The book is beautifully laid out and enjoyable to read. As a career professional, I have seen hundreds of career books, and this one is the best ever.

5.0 out of 5 stars "What's Next" Sets the Definitive Standard, 4 Nov 2003
Lot’s of people wrestle with issues and questions at different points on the journey through personal and career life – “What are my options?” “How should I proceed?” “What will happen if I fail?” “How can I become a better parent, colleague, friend, partner, etc.” I have spent years working with people who are exploring these kind of questions; they are different and uniquely personal for each individual. Many despair the effort because there are so many important variables to consider that the prospect of sorting through the maze is overwhelming.

The author of What’s Next has detangled the maze by providing an enormously user friendly road map to life and career milestones and destinations. The concepts, tools and exercises build logically to enable the user to develop insights and conclusions that are right for them. Real examples and anecdotes provide validation that others have faced and overcome similar challenges and issues.

What’s Next is about building personal knowledge and self awareness; the key elements to assuming activist responsibility for creating and achieving life and career goals. What’s next is about what to do and how to do it. What’s Next is about quality, content, presentation and an overall value proposition that is irresistible and unbeatable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why wonder? Find out what career WORKS for YOU!, 9 Oct 2003
By A Customer
Because of my work, I have to read a lot of these sorts of books. Climb the Corporate Ladder. Kiss up to your Boss. Become a stupid executive in 10 simple steps. Generation this and Generation that... For the most part, these books are dry, dull and typically borderline patronizing. What Next? is quite different.

In cleverly laid out pages with great little fact boxes scattered throughout, the author helps you discover what sort of work style suits you best.

The book contains some thought-provoking self assessment tools in many of the chapters that cover the basics such as how to analyze your skills to the more intricate that explore your personality. What Next? also has lots of information on work/career development theory as well.

The author doesn't lie or mislead anyone about the realities of the new world of work. She lays it all out in an easy-to-read format and then, lets YOU figure out what you need. Now I am confident that I accomplish the most and am most happy when I am working independently, for example. I need a variety of different daily tasks and have to be allowed to solve my own problems most of the time.

It is an excellent book for people of all ages. Whether you are underemployed, unemployed,a student or happily employed but wanting to learn more . . .What Next? is the only career guide to have!
