Nikki S.Nikki S.: Thought this was a new item. Turned out it was used. Not labeled as such in description

FH: I need this book for an online class I'm taking, but it took a long time to ship to my house, so I ended up buying the Kindle version so I wouldn't miss the first week of reading.
Once I finally did receive the the physical copy (the red cover) I realized the Kindle version was not any where the same! In fact the chapters were off and there was chucks of text missing from the electronic book. I guess it was a different edition.

Carly Dennis: Katherine Brooks provides a progressive and realistic look at how students can identify career choices! As a career counselor, I spend a lot of time walking students through assessments and having conversations about their interests, values and skills. Upon reading this book, Brooks appealed to my creative, "I'm sick of the same ol' thing all the time" side. I utilized some of her activities from the book, including the wandering map and possible lives, into my career decision making class. It was a innovative approach to having the students DECIDE how a career can fit into their lives, not how they fit into a specific career field. Students tend to spend too much time wanting this magic idea for a career spit out by an assessment that they rarely stop to think about WHO they really are. Brooks provides a process oriented approach to helping students discover who they are and how they make meaning throughout their lives; in the long run, I believe this will be more helpful and fulfilling to them. Similar to happenstance theory, Brooks also spends a lot of time on chaos theory and describes career planning as a non-linear path. This is one of my favorite themes from the book. It's...

kerri gratton: I found Katherine's book engaging and interesting. Her knowlege and experience in the career placement field helps with offering insights that I found thought provoking and useful. I enjoyed completing the exercises and found they helped me identify some of my strengths and weaknesses as well as motivate me to move forward in my job search. I would recommend reading this book if you are currently thinking about earning a degree, graduated from university, applying for a practicum, grad school, or entering the workforce.

O: "you majored in what?" provides a fresh, detailed approach to career research. about 22 years ago, i needed a career change. i attended counseling classes, and also went through the then-current volume of bolles' ubiquitous "what color is your parachute;" although i was successful in my effort, i wish this book and approach had been available then (yes, even though this book is aimed at graduating college students, i think career-changers could benefit equally from its content). the WCIYP approach is terrific as far as it goes, but it is not as straightforward and freeing-from-stereotypes as would have been helpful to me. "you majored in what?" is an open-ended brainstorming of a sort, with a framework laid out to really allow me to link experience,strengths and interests. the author uses the term "wandering map" to describe the basic tool upon which the "search" is built. "wandering" sounds a little too unfocused to me; i think it really works more like a "brainstorming map." other reviews here provide terrific detail on the content, so i'll stop here.

the book is easy to read and follow, and yet is a complete, detailed description of a confidence-building career search...
