Love Your Job!: Loving the Job You Have...Finding a Job You Love

by Paul Powers, Deborah Russell, Debby Russell

Book Overview

Do you love your job? Too few people do. In fact, surveys show that 80 to 95 percent of Americans are dissatisfied with their jobs.

Great, Practical Ideas To Love Your Job

This is a great book. Not only does it help you to sort out what you really want to do in life, it provides an easy to follow series of actions you can take to help you get there.

Jumper Cables for Your Career

I found that the hardest thing about finding a new job or career is knowing where to start and how to get moving in a new direction. This book is set up in such a way that you can read a page or two at a time, get some food for thought and put it down. Then, Later you can do a "fill in the blank" quiz or checklist and get a new piece of information to fit in to your plan. Bit by bit, idea by idea, suggestion by suggestion it gets you moving and that's half of the battle to finding and keeping a job you can love at least it was for me. I highly recommend this book.Scott Rassoulian, Brookine, MA.

An Upbeat Career Tool for Both Consultant and Client

I got my first copy of "Love Your Job" after I saw Dr. Powers on CNN and enjoyed his upbeat message for those in a down job market. Since then I have recommended it to many clients in my organizational consulting practice. The exercises and mini-tests (self assessments really)alone are worth the price of the book and are both motivational and practical. I have found this book to be as helpful to an executive or manager as it is to someone new in the job market. I'm on my third copy now because they keep getting "borrowed." Timeless wisdom!Dr. Edward Deevy, North Andover, Massachusetts.
