 The Career Fitness ProgramMar 31, 2007

I expected more from the text, based on the title. The material seems to reflect the job market of 10 years ago - little reference to what's happening in the industry today that job seekers need to know. The text places heavy emphasis on the self-concept and values which are important, but skills the person has and how they relate to positions in the workplace are of utmost importance. An individual may have interest in a career field, but it could be one that's fading not emerging. I was expecting a book that would allow the reader to insert new ideas and new strategies right into a job search. The book may suffice as a supplemental reading, but not as a tutorial on establishing a career and finding a job. It lacks vision. I felt it was analog thinking in a digital world.

I didn't think this book was all that great really. The exercises in the book were tedious and lengthy. It didn't really help me discover a career.

The book was very late. I missed homework assignments and quizzes because i had no book to use. Do not recommend the seller. But the book was in good condition as described.
