Publisher's summary

Here is the essential guide to kick-starting a career you love in any job market.

There is an epidemic in this country, one that continues to spread despite fluctuations in the economy. A dishearteningly large number of people dislike what they do for a living. In this revised and updated edition of I Don’t Know What I Want, but I Know It’s Not This, career coach Julie Jansen shows how anyone unhappy with their employment - or lack of it - can implement a real and satisfying career transformation.

A range of quizzes and personality exercises help you to identify the type of work for which you’re best suited, and then, using real-life examples and a useful resource guide, Jansen shows you how to transform even a period of crisis into an opportunity, providing the inspiration and know-how to affect positive change.

Critic reviews

"Her advice is seasoned and her tone encouraging, making this a solid resource for people who know they don’t like what they do; it might also be a wakeup call for others numbed into job complacency." ( Publishers Weekly)

Title is misleading

This book is not designed for people who want to make a career switch but are unsure of what field to switch to. On the contrary this book IS designed for people who want to make a career switch and know exactly what they want to switch to, but need some encouragement.

If you are looking for a career switch in your life but are unsure of what you want to do, this is not the book for you.

Good Book

This is a good and insightful book but it’s more targeted towards older generations then younger ones like millennials.

This book made me give up on life.

Spoiler, spend every moment of every day being a slave to your career to enjoy your career...but at least you chose it?
Not worth the extra time with your therapist.
