5.0 out of 5 stars Good, sound advice, 21 Feb 2003
By Phil Parratt (Colchester, England) - See all my reviews
There is a wealth of books that allege to help the layman in changing the direction in which their career is heading. After a couple of introductory paragraphs, they dive straight into theoretical gobbledegook. This does NOT apply to this book!

Written from practical experience, it is far easier to comprehend even down to checking your personality type. The book encourages you take an honest and realistic look at your strengths AND weaknesses in deciding what you have to offer an employer and how to 'market' yourself.

I was relieved to find that I was doing some of the recommended things, but picked up some very useful pointers which on reflection just made good sense. These are all too easily missed when you are trying to deal with the situation on your own.

In summary, it is well worth the price for the sound advice, poignant (somtimes amusing) anecdotes and real-life examples.

Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC, 22 Jul 2006
By Emmy-Lou (North West England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Career Change Handbook: How to Find Out What You're Good at and What You Enjoy - Then Get Someone to Pay You for It. (3rd Edition) (Paperback)
It really is too, really fantastic. I first got this book out of the library when updating a friends CV and have since borrowed it so many times that I now know I can't live without it! It's so full of wonderful inspiring and practical advice that even if you just put a little into practice while looking for that new job you are bound to succeed in a greater way than you even expected! Having recently made a career progression myself using the information in this book to help me I can vouch totally for its practicality and simplicity. I'm not going to mention any of it because if you want to know, you should get the book! It's great!

1.0 out of 5 stars rubbish, 20 Mar 2009
By T. Molamphy (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Career Change Handbook: How to Find Out What You're Good at and Enjoy - Then Get Someone to Pay You for It (How to) (Paperback)
Major criticism is the title is misleading. It is no real help in discovering what to do next in a career change path. The rest of it is basic how to find a job text. Waste of money
