Product Description

In 2009, the U.S. unemployment rate approached ten percent. Today, when new work is found, it may not be traditional. Studies estimate half of the American workforce will soon consist of freelancers, consultants, independent contractors, entreprenuers, "electronic immigrants," and so forth. Are you ready for the new normal? Dan Miller has seen it coming for years. But his thriving vocational best seller, 48 Days to the Work You Love, is not so much about finding a new job as it is learning about who we are really called to be in relation to our vocation-whatever shape that career may take in these changing times. According to the author, failing to make that fundamental discovery of calling is why so many people find themselves in jobs they hate. But now, thousands upon thousands are finding the work they love, thanks to practical advice from this leading career counselor. Conversational and creative, Miller helps the reader understand one's Godgiven skills and abilities, personality traits, values, dreams, and passions. Doing so helps us recognize clear patterns that will point toward successful decisions along the career path. Step by step, this updated edition of 48 Days to the Work You Love reveals the process for creating a Life Plan and translating that plan into meaningful and fulfilling daily work. Let the countdown begin!

Outdated but good.
By J.Lane
I thought this book was a little behind the times with some of it's language. When suggesting a booming economy and unlimited opportunities (not quotes or exact wordage) it was obviously talking about a different era. On the other hand he offers great advice and some interesting interview questions for the applicant. I specifically like his negative view on objectives as a section for your resume. I would definitely suggest this book and while your at it read the power of who and Fired to hired all back to back and you will be on your way to the work you love.

Motivational & Informing!
By April
This book was an amazing confidence, motivational and learning experience for me. I read it prior to starting a new job search and ended up meeting my goal of making a lot more money and finding a job I really enjoy (and have been enjoying for 3 years now). I recommend EVERYONE reads this even if you're not looking for another job right now. It opens up the creative mind to knew ideas and the information on how to transfer your skills to ANY industry despite your past industry experience is priceless. Can't say enough good things about it and credit the book for giving me the knowledge and confidence to go out and "live the dream" (even while others were telling me I was crazy to shoot so high!). It HAS changed my life for the better in many ways! JUST DO IT! READ IT!

Very eye opening
By Theresa L. Morris
I would recommend this book to anyone in the midst of finding their true purpose or someone who is tired of working their job just for the paycheck. It is down to earth suggestions, and it has really opened my eyes to see the opportunities in front of me.
