I was given a review copy of this book and, overall, I thought it was informative and could be useful not only in regard to finding a job but also could build self-esteem.
The layout was good because it detailed many of the steps needed to improve future endeavours from changing your outlook to networking. The graphics at the beginning of each chapter helped to focus on the content. The quotes included made for interesting comparisons.
I think this book could be a 'go-to' tool for those looking for a job and changing their lives.
Worth a look.

Interesting Information
As someone who is currently on the job hunt, this book had a lot of helpful information. Being stuck in a dead-end job is frustrating but I’m hoping that if I utilize some of these tips, I can finally make the change that I need to further my career and expand my professional knowledge. Hopefully, it can help me find my dream job sooner rather than later.

Valuable Knowledge
I learned about informational interviews and also that networking is a give and take process. You may need help in your time of need but you should always try to help others when possible also. This was a quick read. I feel like it could’ve been shortened by a chapter or two but nevertheless, I did learn something new.

Well, of course, I liked this book. I wrote it. The conclusions I made in the book come from working with people one-on-one, helping them find jobs, and making career changes. This is my 4th book on career decisions and follows two others that have to do with understanding ourselves. So many people have told me that they want to find their dream job, but when I ask them what it is, they don't know? If you understand yourself, you will know your dream job, and then the work starts.
Alexander Pope said, "Act well your part; there all the honor lies" But what if you find yourself unsure of your place in this world? What if you know your part but find your goals too impossible to reach?
You need a change, and to get that, you need to change. All human beings share at least one thing in common. We all want to be the best version of ourselves.
