Play of Your Life

Colleen A. Sabatino. Rodale Press, $16.95 (304pp) ISBN 978-1-57954-964-0

Based on the premise that""the world is your stage and you are the star of your own life,"" this volume by career counselor Sabatino provides tools and ideas to help readers discover what""role"" will satisfy and fulfill them and figure out how to make it happen in their careers. Like many engaging job guidebooks, this book is interactive, with frequent quizzes and exercises--some quite involved--that encourage readers to analyze their values, wants, needs and strengths. It offers advice on practical aspects of job seeking, such as creating a""script"" (a great resume and compelling, customized cover letter), networking and interviewing--a.k.a. auditioning--which, like good acting,""is not just reading lines from a script. It requires a performance that ignites that producers' imagination and lets them know you are capable of implementing their vision."" This volume should appeal to those who believe they're ready for a great career change.
