Following a new year of updates, The Career Explorer's Journal is now even better equipped to encourage and support a unique journey of discovery for each and every reader. All you have to do is pay attention to details and record what you find, in order to change the way you see your career forever.

Customer Reviews
My Personalized Guide for Exploring Career Development
I found out about this handbook after working directly with its author, Paul Diamond, extensively on career related issues. He regularly helps me with career and personal advice, and having this journal at the ready is great for having that support system whenever I need it!
This book is my goto source for when I'm confronted with a work related issue. The book is real because its full of real experiences. Its NOT one of those cheesy self-help books with a guy in a snazzy suit, white teeth and slick hair saying 'wanna be like me, buy this book' and Thank God! Paul keeps it real with his refreshing perspective which I know comes from thousands of hours interviewing unhappy execs during his time at KFI. He knows the importance of gaining a mindfulness of your own values, talents, and goals - and this book helps me stay focused on these three realms of my life and how best to keep them aligned. When I find myself in challenging situations, its usually because one or more of my values, talents and goals are out of whack and after a quick read through a chapter or two I'm reminded of my own journey and tend to find MY path quickly.
If you want a real book with real stories of real journeys which may or may not inspire you, but will definitely help you know that you are not alone, start reading his blog and pickup this book. More than anything The Career Explorers Journal reminds me its ok if I don't have it all figured out because there are others who are just like me and they are finding out their own way - not some idealistic and templated form of success. It helps me when I need it most and I hope it helps you too.
