using this book

This book provides the simple, common-sense, and creative tools that are most likely to lead to success in today's working environment.

No book can promise success, but using this book's method in good faith is likely to increase your odds of attaining success.

A very helpful book

My wife and I both found this book to be very helpful. She has just been "riffed" by a large company and I've fallen into something of a career rut myself. So we've been passing it back and forth. What I like best about the book is that it doesn't spend a lot of time belaboring the obvious, which so many business books tend to do. They take one or two ideas that might flesh out a long essay and stretch them out to the point of evaporating to make them into a book. After a while, you feel that the author is just saying the same thing over and over until he hits 200 pages. In contrast, "Career Continuation" moves along briskly so you never get bored or impatient. It also has a real nice focus on specific tools that you can use in making a new career choice. The layout of the book is pleasant to read too and easy on the eye in a way that makes it simple to find the things you want to work on. I also found value in the "Success Tips" which capture in a series of tables a lot of hard-earned wisdom. I also liked how the book stayed upbeat and optimistic without seeming too "Pollyanna-ish" or too "Stuart Smiley" (if that's the guy who was on Saturday Night Live.) All in all, we both found it a good way to try and organize a job search or major career change. It was well worth the twelve bucks.

Practical and easy to use

So useful, easy to read and practical, I'm making it required reading for my adult college students whether they are in the midst of a career search, transition or simply want to better manage their career. Plan on giving it to each of my grown children and adult and high school age grandchildren. The books practicality and simple format make it accesible to a broad range of ages and experience.

Powerfully Simple

Deciding on a new career and direction is not a compromise. This book describes how in 5 easy steps you can eliminate the stress and anxiety related to changing careers. For anyone who is afraid of leaving their current "safe" job, yet hates the idea of getting up in the morning to go to that job, this is just the book for them. The SNAPP It charts, tables and checklists are simply designed to assist in delving into your inner goals and dreams for the future. The tools provided in this book had a profound impact on my career making decisions. This book is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
