The material links the reader to the entire system of career information. It is a switching station where the myriad of career counseling avenues are at your fingertips. This book is the absolute keystone for all career fields, personal, professional and academic.. "Easy Read, Straight forward" according to Andrea R. This text is easy to read and straight-forward. I don't rate it as a five star as it does not keep my attention, but then again the topic isn't the career that I plan on entering specifically.. Decent for Class Nikki This book was decent for class purposes. I have come across other career counseling books that were so dry. This book was actually bearable to get through and explained the information well.
