Benefit from my 29 years of experience working in the field of career information.  | Satisfying careers are built on good career information. It may take years for you to decide whether your career choice has turned out to be a wise one. But your chances of satisfaction are better if you make the choice wisely. That means basing the choice—and the planning that follows—on good career information. This is important whether you're a young person just starting out, a person contemplating a midlife career change, or an older person planning for work in retirement. In career information systems, and now in books about careers for JIST Publishing, I've focused my own career on providing accurate, easy-to-use career information. |
I now have a column, Career Jam, that appears regularly at Gary Johnson's BraveNewWorkWorld site.
I recently appeared on Fox Business Network to discuss 150 Best Recession-Proof Jobs. Click the photo to see the interview. 
| Coming in October 2008:  | In a rocky economy, everyone wants a rock-solid career. And you don’t need to trade salary for security. This new book uncovers the 150 most secure, good-paying jobs in good and bad times. Read about it at the JIST site and some details about my methodology in one of my Career Jam columns. |
Released in June 2008:  | Surveys confirm that occupational pressures are the number-one source of stress for Americans. Job stress costs employers $300 billion annually in accidents, absenteeism, turnover, and diminished productivity. Fortunately, seeking less career stress does not mean you must sacrifice good pay and a promising future--if you choose a career goal with the help of this book. Read about it at the JIST site and in one of my Career Jam columns. Purchase it here. |
Released in spring 2008:  | By choosing a major that fits their personality, college students may improve their career certainty, graduation rates, and even school involvement and satisfaction, according to research. With this new book, students discover their personality type and the 10 best majors that relate to it. Read about it at the JIST site. Purchase it here. |
Released in November 2007:  | Introverts prefer autonomy and quiet in their work and draw their energy from within. In this useful book, the authors help introverts—about 40 percent of the population—make the best career match for their strengths in just two steps: (1) Review best jobs lists to compare careers and to find those that suit them best. (2) Learn more about the careers of interest in detailed job descriptions. Read about it at the JIST site. Purchase it here. |
