4.0

Disclaimer: I read about 3/4 of this book, as two of the chapters were not applicable to my situation.

I think IDKWIWBIKINT (not as easy to abbreviate as, say, LoTR) is a great book for taking a step back and really evaluating what you value, enjoy, what interests you, and what you want out of the career part of your life.

The first part of the book consists of a series of personality, interest, and value tests. I think these are actually really important, so I was all about them. It turns out that a few things have changed since I took some of these kinds of tests in high school, so I wouldn't skip over those. The second part of the book is a few chapters specifically designed to your current situation. I skipped two chapters because I do not want to own my business right now, and I definitely do not have one toe in the retirement pool. The final section of the book includes 10 keys to success (very good), some basic resume and interview know-how, and then finally some resources to find more information. The resources section is quite extensive, so you can get more information with your own volition.

I'm not sure why this book isn't rated higher - it's exactly what it says it is, written by an author who has changed careers a number of times. It was helpful for me.
