Another disappointing job search book
By Raychel
I have long been hoping to find the ONE career book that will point me in the write direction of finding the career that I want out of life. I'm coming to believe that these books are mostly a waste of money.
This book contains a personality test that is not unlike any other career assessment test that you can take online, for FREE. It then contains a boat load of charts...50 highest paying jobs for this personality type....50 jobs for this personality type with the highest amount of women/men employed...ect ect. If this sort of thing interests you then by all means this book might be for you.
Most of the book however is a list of different jobs for the different personality types that contains descriptions, experience/education needed, related job, ect but it is all on a VERY BASIC level.
Save your money and speak with a career counsler.

Must Read for Counselors, Consultants, and Teachers

50 Best Jobs for Your Personality is excellent reference book that provides the latest information on occupations and Holland Codes.
50 Best Jobs has detailed information on each occupation - Holland Codes, job descriptions, earnings, job growth and openings, education/ training requirements, skill areas, and GOE Interest Areas.
Extensive job lists provide a wealth of information -
- Highest Pay, Fastest Growth, and Most Openings

- GOE Interest Fields and Groups
50 Best Jobs for Your Personality is useful for -
- Career Exploration
- College Major Exploration

- Career Decision-Making
As a bonus, 50 Best Jobs has a career assessment and an overview of the Holland Code Career Model.
This is an excellent resource for counselors, consultants, and teachers.

By Mary S. Long
I have a nephew who is at a loss as to what career path to take...I gave this book to him and he spent the entire holiday week off from school reading this. Its chocked with information that relates to one's personality and what career fits with your talents. It points out a surprising number of sub fields one could consider, which I think fascinated my nephew.
This is a worthwhile book to give teenagers. IT explores the personality, likes and dislikes of certain fields, and actually spikes the teen's imagination and curiosity about different career fields one may not be familiar with
