      CREATIVE EDUCATOR, AUTHOR, MS. DIANE PHILLIPS:

      INTRODUCTION

      This book takes you the reader, through every step needed to determine your own unique strengths, attributes, and natural approach to life so you may artfully find and apply for optimum career options that fit. It then provides the map for a professional approach that creates leadership and continuing career expansion.

      Career options that fit are abundant, not scarce!

      The purpose of this book is to restore a feeling of vigor by discovering and defining careers that best fit you and your unique attributes and natural skills that you will want to develop throughout your life. To accomplish this, we have broken down the information into small, digestible, and very doable steps. This book is meant to be used regularly and referred to over time as a tool for measuring progress. Several practical exercises are included in each chapter. We encourage you to keep a journal that will serve as a companion to this book so you can do the exercises and track your development. You may also wish to go to www.thejobbook.info/forms to download the exercise forms.

      When you have career-finder tools, resume-writing coaching, and appropriate social media networks that fit, you may encounter satisfying career results that excite and inspire you throughout your professional life.

      Fortune 100 corporations have complained that too few college grads are prepared for the jobs they were hired for. Too few jobs feel like exciting careers because it is possible that, early on, no one presented the young individual (you) with the proper tools to help define and then support your unique qualities and interests so as to open the door to bountiful career choices that fit.

      Increasingly, skilled and unskilled folks are joining the ranks of the unemployed faster than the ranks of the employed. Much of their time is being spent applying for jobs, whether they qualify for them or not, without seeing much success and with great frustration. Eventually, job skills atrophy, and industry demands shift.

      Our once entrepreneurial attitude, typical of our American pioneer spirit that outpaced economic distress, is being oppressed by reams of excessive regulations and taxation that punishes creative ambition and gives little incentive or demand for personal achievement. The result of both extreme measures is apathy.

      Years ago, we found no shortage of employment. We saw a field of interest and then developed existing skill-sets to fulfill the required needs, and we communicated with the employer to make ourselves and skills known with pride.

      In today’s high-tech, fast-moving arena, sowing the seeds for one’s twenty to forty year career is no longer a prospect to take for granted. Breakthroughs in industries are happening at the speed of light. Now more than ever, a career demands that you keep up and keep interested with vigor and professionalism. When one is keenly interested in a subject, keeping up with new techniques is most inviting and even more exciting!

      Until recently, our career-finding methods involved sending letters and relying on word of mouth. Now, electronic job boards and social media networking are common methods. Your success depends on your understanding of what makes you tick and then utilizing your growing network to find career options that fit you.

      The following chapters will likely bring to light the true you, helping you discover your native attributes and how to effectively deal with limiting ideas from the past about yourself that may be impeding your future successes. You will experience vitality as a result of finding abundant career choices that match your unique skills. You will learn to locate an optimum employment scene, how to have a lifelong career, and how to effectively communicate in a way that matches the needs of both you and your employer.

      You, the career seeker, will follow well-tested recipes. Each step moves you closer to purposeful career options while you grow an appreciation of your unique self. Once you define abilities and qualities that are uniquely yours, you will understand how to stay on top of your game in the fast-moving job arena.

      This book provides the exact tools in the exact sequence that will illuminate abundant career choices that fit you and create abundance!

      Disclaimer

      If you are confused about job finding or are not true to your burning desire to follow areas of interest and skills, and if you feel you must make career choices others have given you that are not based on your decision, the following chapters may help you rediscover your inner self, passionate interests, and native skills and could remove false ideas that have impeded your future career potential.

      The proposed career solutions stated in this book may also threaten or disrupt past, unchanging habits and ideas. If the steps to take toward your designer career cause you stress or problems, this book may not be for you.

      Editorial Review: Kirkus

      A dentist, developer, and philanthropist maps out an action plan to get the job one really wants in this personal and professional development guide.

      For debut author Regni, the only way to function at one’s best in the work force, let alone one’s true dream career, is by stepping up to higher awareness of yourself and what you want. He offers small, digestible, and very doable steps to aid in this quest. He first asks readers to identify their own special attributes by recalling activities that they enjoyed as children, before negative forces (such as parents, teachers, or spouses) crushed those inclinations. He then outlines positive and negative habits to invite or avoid on the job: one should be a good listener, for example, and avoid gossiping. He also includes a worksheet to track whether one deserves a + or - on any given day. The author spends about a third of the book offering an array of job descriptions and growth charts, as if to underscore his assertion that Career options that fit are abundant, not scarce! He also emphasizes the importance of networking with another worksheet, which sets forth a plan to make new connections each week. Personal accountability is Regni’s byword in this book. He notes in his bio, for example, that he was prompted to write this book (with co-writer Phillips, a life coach) after hearing patients express job-hunting concerns and feeling responsible for doing something about it. Overall, though, he offers rather basic information that is readily available elsewhere, and he sometimes states the obvious (such as what funeral directors do or that social media is important). That said, the strength of this book lies in its exercises, which reinforce the idea that readers must step up to take charge of their own career searches and development. For instance, after he wraps up the book with a variety of tips and websites for resume creation and job hunting, he adds a final worksheet to record how one spends one’s day and to determine one’s ideal lifestyle. Overall, it’s a simple but still empowering primer.

      An upbeat, clear-cut career accountability kick-starter.
