Maybe you're bored with your job, feel restless or unfulfilled, or just ready for a change.

Or maybe, because of layoffs, failing industries and the restructuring of companies, the decision to change careers may not be your choice but may be forced upon you.

For whatever reason, you are trying to decide how to restructure your career.  And the choices you make now may change your life for years ahead.

Finding the right career is not easy!

Which occupations will be safe in the years ahead?  Is there really such a thing as a recession-proof job?  How can you transition yourself from one career or industry to another? 

And how do you figure out which job you would really like?  Further, how do you figure out which job truly fits your needs and your personality?

Through my book I can offer you a valuable tool to help you make the right choices.

This book will step you through a thorough analysis of your work needs by evaluating

     your interests,
     your abilities,

"With Dr. Chadwell's help, I was able to make a somewhat improbable career change, securing a position that not only met all of the criteria I was looking for in a new job, but was with the company I most wanted to work for -- even though the company was not thought to be hiring at the time and the job was never advertised.  Thanks Dr. Chadwell, for helping me find the job of my dreams!"
