Description

In What's Your Type of Career? Second Edition, author Donna Dunning provides concrete links between personality and career to help anyone manage transition, enrich a career path, or move into opportunities that best suit his or her unique talents. Dunning uses the well-establish Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) instrument to identify eight natural work styles. Rich with a variety of exercises, checklists, tips, and strategies, readers are taken through an easy five-step career planning process that highlights their strengths and skills to help them make better career choices. In this revised Second Edition, Dunning has added additional job titles while updating current ones, and has written new sections on type differences in careers later in life and work/life balance.
