Is Your Career Still on Target?

After working for most of your adult life you may be asking yourself, “Now what do I do for fun?” Many of us have already stopped at this crossroad and are still looking for the answer. Well, I found the answer for some of us, that is, I found someone who can help find the answer. Her name is Jane Trevaskis and she has spent most of her adult life finding answers for other people, redirecting human interest, and lately wrote a book titled,” Is your career still on Target?” After hearing about the book (in progress) about a year ago, I was anxious to get my hands on a copy and see what all the buzz was about.

The book is written in a workbook style with exercises in research, personal interviews with yourself and friends, a polite way of getting you to write down your strengths and weaknesses, followed up with how to negotiate in today’s job market and finally what to do after your hired. As you go through the workbook you will find some outstanding resources for help with your particular interest.

So, if you’re about to change careers or have been out of the work force for awhile, this quick study work book could help you identify your wisdom areas and get you back in the game. You can order the book from her web site http://www.career-on-target.com and as a gift you’ll receive a free half hour session with Jane to help set up your next career path. Jane Trevaskis can be reached through her web site http://www.success-catalyst.com/ for additional coaching information and to consult with her about your next move.
