I Don't Know What I Want, But I Know It's Not This

A Step-by-Step Guide to Finding Gratifying Work

By: Julie Jansen

Narrated by: Margaret Strom

Here is the essential guide to kick-starting a career you love in any job market.

There is an epidemic in this country, one that continues to spread despite fluctuations in the economy. A dishearteningly large number of people dislike what they do for a living. In this revised and updated edition of I Don’t Know What I Want, but I Know It’s Not This, career coach Julie Jansen shows how anyone unhappy with their employment - or lack of it - can implement a real and satisfying career transformation.

A range of quizzes and personality exercises help you to identify the type of work for which you’re best suited, and then, using real-life examples and a useful resource guide, Jansen shows you how to transform even a period of crisis into an opportunity, providing the inspiration and know-how to affect positive change.

Critic reviews

"Her advice is seasoned and her tone encouraging, making this a solid resource for people who know they don’t like what they do; it might also be a wakeup call for others numbed into job complacency." ( Publishers Weekly)

This book made me give up on life.

Spoiler, spend every moment of every day being a slave to your career to enjoy your career...but at least you chose it?
Not worth the extra time with your therapist.

Good Book

This is a good and insightful book but it’s more targeted towards older generations then younger ones like millennials.

Title is misleading

This book is not designed for people who want to make a career switch but are unsure of what field to switch to. On the contrary this book IS designed for people who want to make a career switch and know exactly what they want to switch to, but need some encouragement.

If you are looking for a career switch in your life but are unsure of what you want to do, this is not the book for you.
