Product reviews for Finding Square Holes

The Alternative Career Planner

IN A NUTSHELL - there are three sections: getting started, groundwork and getting practical; plus exercises that make you look at what you did and didn`t like about you rob roles. Activities such as working out where your money goes and listing you priorities helped me find out what`s important to me. There are explanations of how to get into different careers, too.

I LOVED IT BECAUSE - it helped me to see the bigger picture. The author warns that you might even find out you`re already doing the right job. What`s great is that it gets you looking at things from a different angle, and makes the point that you don`t have to wake up on a Monday morning and skip into work with joy in your heart, your career`s just one part of your life, not the be all and end all. By the end, I was thinking that maybe construction isn`t really such a bad career after all.

I STRUGGLED WITH - Completing all the self-assessments - but only because they made me feel slightly uncomfortable as I had to admit my own weaknesses!

BEST FOR - Anyone who`s reached a milestone, looked back and thought `maybe I didn`t mean to do that`. It`s like having a life coach and career adviser on a budget.
