Really good book - you need a decent dollop of self awareness though - Rated 
Good book. Requires a decent amount of 'soul searching'. Good book though, and talks you through all the elements you need to consider. Found it useful when used in conjunction with a completely different style of book (very much more practical) "How to Handle Your Recruitment Consultant". Basically meaning that once I had worked my through John Lees' book I was able to get Recruitment Consultants to do what I needed them to do. The two together worked really well.
Great help at crucial time ! - Rated 
I used this book in combination with one to one sessions with John. I was looking for answers on "What do I really want to do next?" This book suited me in its approach and style: practical, concrete and usable. You can pick and choose chapters depending on the subject you are interested in. The results of the exercises are meaningful and positive. I really liked the "no limit approach". In other words, think about the ideal and then consider the limits. All of this is done in a very positive manner. And yet once you have identified your ideal job there are practical ways of going about it and fair reminders for the dreamers! I also like the fact that John's views were based on extensive research and not just his gut feeling. This book and John's coaching have been a crucial help for me to go from this daunting question to an exciting journey to a new career. A fantastic tool for a key decision.
A practical guide to thinking about your career - Rated
John Lees' book is an excellent combination of practical exercises and good advice to help you manage your career. The practical exercises will help you to think about the kind of work you'll really enjoy. While some of them look simple at first, the key thing is to actually do them and then take time to consider what the results are telling you. As John Lees says, most of us spend more time planning our holidays than we spend planning our career. Other parts of the book provide sound advice about everything from CV writing to handling job interviews, or even choosing the right career consultant.
I have recommended this book to both friends and clients (I'm an occupational psychologist) and they have all found it very useful. I have also noticed that they are making more confident decisions about what they want out of a job and how to get it.
For anyone who feels the need to get more satisfaction from their work, this is a great place to start!
Discover the best you there is - Rated
Reading a book isn't a substitute for working with a career coach like John Lees one-to-one. But "How to get a job you'll love" is the closest you can get to this ideal. It is like one of the best travel books packed with both inspiration and practical "things to do". This book can inspire you to look at the possibilities of taking a brand new career journey, and to make considered, but adventurous choices. It also helps you to decide whether you "work to live" or "live to work" - a profound discovery that might impact very strongly on your career planning. Above all, it pushes you to "discover the best you there is".
A fantastic book that changed my life. - Rated
At the time of reading `How to get the Job you'll love', although I had a 2:1 degree in Psychology from a good University, I was working as a shop assistant, wondering what do with my life. I had been to see a number of careers advisers in the past, all of whom were not particularly helpful. I then came across this book and it changed my life forever.
It was so practical and easy to use and it felt as if the author knew all the dilemmas I had been facing and answered all of them. I used his tips on how to discover my interests, and gained lots of confidence in how tackle my search for my ideal job.
I have recently set up my own business, again using John's helpful tips and advice. I have recommended friends and family members, from all ages and different stages in their careers, and at all levels from students to senior executives, to read these wonderful books. All of those people without exception have seen changes in the careers they did not think possible.
