Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)There are a lot of career books that tell you WHAT you are supposed to do to find a job or take your career to the next level. What I really like about Awaken Your Careerpreneur is that Alexia Vernon helps you figure out WHO you want to be in your career and to customize all of her tips for your specific purpose. Her stories are funny and relevant and what she calls SUCCESSwork, interactive coaching exercises, really help you stay on track. It would have been great to have read this book 20 years ago so I highly recommend it for college students and recent grads. Although those who are switching careers, want to start a business, or simply want to goal set for bigger and better things will also find it really valuable.
