Your 21st Century Career: New paths to personal success by Heather Carpenter PhD

Whether you are currently content in your job or looking for a total career change, Your 21st Century Career will give you the help you need to keep yourself one step ahead of a changing and competitive job market. It can also provide the inspiration to transform your career path.

Heather says that we need to understand how the workplace is shifting in our modern world. Also we need to understand how changes in the work environment might affect our skills, jobs and future. She says we can make ourselves more employable if we understand how we work best. She also says we need to keep ourselves flexible and creative in our approach and proactively take the chance to up skill.

Dr Carpenter also points out that success is no longer just limited to salary and position. We need to consider all areas of our lives. By re-assessing our individual concept of success we can shape our work and life choices to achieve our own satisfying and successful career.

She also points out that it is far too easy to drift in a career if we don’t set goals and a defined path for ourselves. Some of the exercises in this book help readers to identify what their ‘path with a heart’ is and how to make the well informed choices to get ourselves on that path.

This is a book that addresses people at all stages along their career path from school leaver to the late in life career seeker. She has drawn together world class research and practical experience to write this book and provides thought provoking exercises.

Even though Your 21st Century Career might seem a small book it is not one you can ‘flick through in five minutes’ and some of the concepts might require some thought from some readers in order to know what they actually mean. It is a challenging book, written in workbook style but well worth working through.
