PEOPLE HAVE SAID...

“For the past year, I have been toying with the idea of making a career move. I don’t feel challenged at my current job and I’m not passionate about my work, but I didn’t realize just how unhappy I actually am until I took the Job Dissatisfaction survey in this book. Wow! I knew I wanted to make a change, but this book helped me see that I’m actually ready to make that change. The authors offer plenty of practical advice on how to focus your interests and walk you through the process of making a plan, setting your goals and making it happen. The questionnaires and quizzes were very helpful, especially for someone like me who wasn’t sure if I was ready to change careers and how I should go about it. I would highly recommend this book for anyone who is struggling with the decision to change careers. Even if you don’t find the answer in this book, it will set you on the path to asking yourself the right kind of questions.” – Rochelle Clark

“Good for the over 50 age group as well. I read this book eagerly. I have been struggling to find a job suitable to my experience. I am not one of those baby boomers who are retiring. I need to work till I am 65. Ageism abounds in the workplace. This book offered me new insights to continue on, dream my job. I will never take a junk job again. Its upward and up for me. Thank you for the new motivation.” – Debbie McDonald

“Helps turn your career dreams into reality. If you’ve been dreaming of a new career, you have to read this book! The dream career experts at FabJob have created a powerful book that will get you moving toward a more fulfilling career. The insightful exercises and specific break-in strategies make this book incredibly useful and truly unique.” – Kelly Kirkendoll-Shafer

“Craving a new job? How about a totally new career path? Think your dream job is too farfetched? Think again. Tag and Catherine Goulet founded FabJob.com, a web site that offers insider info on breaking into hundreds of jobs. Look for their book ‘Dream Careers.'” – Woman’s Day Magazine

“Are you unhappy at work? Want more out of life? Read this book and start on your journey towards your ideal dream job!” – Patrick Snow, Author of ‘Creating Your Own Destiny’

“This book is fantastic! It has great information not only about how we hold ourselves back from reaching our goals but, more importantly, it gives practical solutions and ideas about what to do to overcome those barriers. In addition the quizzes helped me to get focused on what it is that I really want to do. Another thing worth mentioning is the great value — most books in this price range are thin (and so typically don’t offer any great substance). I highly recommend this book for anyone thinking of a career change.” – JM at amazon.com

“You don’t have a job. You don’t like your job. Or your job is okay, but you’d much rather do something else for a living. If any of those statements fits your situation at the moment, then you need a new career. So go ahead, pick one. Not easy, is it? How do you get even the slightest idea about which of the hundreds — if not thousands — of potential careers in the world is the right one for you? Well, you could start with this book. It provides thumbnail glances at a hundred or so of your options, and gives you advice on where to find out more about any career that piques your interest. But it’s not just a matter of choosing your career — once you know what you’d like to do, you still have to make the right connections with people and actually land an opportunity to break in. This book has plenty of tips on how to do that, too. ‘Dream Careers’ is a great springboard that you can use to launch yourself into the… well… the career of your dreams.” – D. Brandt
