In addition, she matches your personality to such workplace factors as the work environment and your boss. Rating: - Career MatchReally very well put together in a simple format.

Rating:  - Informative!!I found this book to be very informative, but it was also so much fun that I couldn't put it down.The self-assessment test was very user-friendly and helpful.I was given a list of jobs that are good fits for me as a "Green/Gold Introvert".Although, as the book says, the list is not exhaustive, I did find it helpful, as well as informative.Pick up a copy and see what you think!!! Rating: - Easy & fast read, very accurateRead this book before you start looking for your next job! So you know what to look for. |
