If you are heading towards the end of school or have children at that stage of life, Choosing a Career - a quick guide to get you started the smart way, is a book full of common-sense, hard-won wisdom and insightful hints and tips. It will clear the fog for those who are a bit lost by giving you a great way to approach the whole process of understanding the career game and selecting options to suit you. It is short enough to digest in one read but deep enough to be of real value as an excellent ongoing reference point. The guide does not get lost in the details of hundreds of specific jobs, as this is well covered elsewhere. Instead, it focuses on helping you think about careers in a smart way and gives you the knowledge to judge how various options will suit you now and in the long term.

The Guide also shows how to weave researching career options into everyday life so it is not a chore. Many of its insights are quite different from what most career guides cover. Choosing a Career is the book many parents will wish they had read themselves at 17. Now, it will serve as a great tool to provide conversation starters on topics that will grab their child's attention when discussing their future. Younger readers will find it a welcome relief to have help in making sense of it all in such an easy to read series of hints and tips.

Choosing a Career is not tied to a single country or culture in terms of context, it is written so that it is useful across the world to anyone facing the age old question of what to do with their life. It is small in size and cost but high in value!
