In these days of a challenged economy, I find more and more friends out seeking a new job or a new career. While nobody likes to be unemployed, their challenge is often, “but I don’t know what I should do next!”
This is especially so in the States, where people tend to judge you more for your job’s merit rather than your own merit.
A few years ago I read a fantastic book that helps the brainstorming begin. Its called “Do What You Are,” by Paul Tieger. See it here.
It is essentially a dumbed-down Meyers-Briggs test and, based on your personality type (introverted v. extroverted, etc.) You can quickly determine some ideas of jobs for which you’d be well suited.
