Easy-to-read guide for high school and college students
reviewed by Sheila M. Trask
"Why is it so unreasonable that you should be expected to behave in society according to society's rules?"
Writing for a young adult audience, Nicole M. Quarles-Thomas has created a career guidebook that is tailor-made for a generation that grew up getting their information in snippets on their smartphones. Short, cheerful chapters make Think Career an uncomplicated, easy-to-read guide for high school and college students considering their career moves.
Based on survey results from the author's February 2012 study, "Real World Readiness: Evaluation–Career/Jobs," the book offers a refreshing change from the usual battery of aptitude tests routinely administered on campus. Instead of focusing on their skills, Quarles-Thomas suggests that students are better served by developing career plans based on activities they actually enjoy. Quizzes and real-life examples help students determine their true interests.
Up-to-date reference lists follow the exercises, giving students practical sources to pursue. An easy starting point for new graduates, Think Career can be a helpful part of the overall research behind launching a career.
Stress is the name of the job for almost all first responders. Learn how to lower your stress, help other first resonders lower their stress, and how to deal with people at a scene who are stressed.
