Review :
A fantastic one-stop guide for taking a proactive approach to your own career management. Clear, insightful and practical – these authors know their stuff and it shows. Helpful and motivating in equal measure. The beauty of this book is that whatever stage you are at in your career, I believe the sound advice and case studies (based on extensive coaching and professional experience) are something that everyone can benefit from. The structured framework covers every aspect from the initial “where do I start?” to actually getting on the right path and all the relevant steps in between. A thorough, structured and pragmatic overview to career management that covers both the practical aspects of changing careers in our volatile, uncertain world, with the often harder, personal underlying challenges many people have to face and overcome to move forward. Finally, a book that connects the mechanics of the job search to the critical motivations that should drive the direction of the search. Only by combining these dimensions can a job seeker hope to achieve genuine job and career fulfilment. Arnold and Barrett provide us the impulse and the practical tools to do just that with great flair. Just about everything you need to think about when considering a career change is included in this gem of a career guide ... I recommend this book for both career coaching professionals as well as jobseekers everywhere. This is a practical, straightforward book that details the key stages of managing and changing careers with a really useful mix of advice, exercises and tips brought to life with real life case studies. Both Camilla and Jane have decades of experience in this field, which is so evident in the book. This book takes you systematically through the career transformation process, from self-assessment to successful job hunting. Jane and Camilla's book helps overcome any anxiety, doubt or the agony of making choices in the face of change by providing a solid framework for taking sound career management decisions. Taking Charge of Your Career is grounded in the realities of the modern-day job search and gives real-life examples to guide you in implementing the ideas within. Pick up this book today and your successful future self will thank you for it! This is a great one-stop-shop of information, insight and resources for anyone looking to reinvigorate their career. Jane and Camilla provide the structured framework to help you to uncover your underlying strengths and interests, but as importantly, the practical steps to help translate those insights into tangible career options. Camilla and Jane's approach has helped me to integrate all aspects of my life to help me to grow in confidence and grow professionally. Their snippets of day-to-day wisdom have been invaluable. They draw on stories and examples which are so easy to remember. I used to think this sort of stuff was common sense but it really isn't – it's a powerful and accessible tool that I am now recommending to everyone!
