good information, tough reading This is certainly a good textbook, but reading it was a real chore. The style is very dry and I had a really hard time maintaining my focus on the text. (The Amazon review claims that this book is "engaging" - um, no.) When I could stay focused, though, I learned quite a bit. Chapter 5 - Assessment and Career Planning - had the most useful info, with lots of assessments listed and their uses. | ||
Good Career Counseling Overview I used this as a textbook for my Career Counseling class (master's level). The book was a good overview of career counseling. I found it to be highly readable, well-written, and well organized. | ||
Great text! This book covers wide range of topics! I will definitely use it to study for the NCE! | ||
Career Development It's about time! Someone has finally written a career development textbook that is enjoyable to read. I loved this book and recommend it to anyone interested in learning about career development interventions. | ||
