“Colour, colour what colour do you choose?”

      Remember the four cups game which you would have played in your childhood. At the threshold of making career decisions, one is pounded with choices and questions. In today's uber - competitive climate, you can't just wing it when you graduate and count on finding a great job ( or a great job finding you). It pays to figure out your interests early, so you can decide what additional schooling-and tuition debt -makes sense for your chosen field.

     I was given this provoking book by my husband as a support material for my communication skill lab classes. I experimented it with my previous batch students (current mech final year students). I was happy to see it produced the desired result of preparing oneself for the fututre (it hit the nail on head for some ). Extrapolating further, I decided to write a review of the book.

     This book dwells on the mind of the students and instigates them to peek into the crystal ball of future with some real ground work. It sets the mind on an exploration-discovering self...working out the preferences (preferred skills and preferred environment) and chalking both short term goal and long term goal.

    The book is about yourself, your dreams, your goals, your job and your vision to your future. It facilitates you to realise your dreams and live your dreams. The book is divided into three parts

     (i) Discovering your dream job

    (ii) On the way to your future

   (iii) Landing your dream job.

    The first part of the book facilitates one to reflex on

•         * favourite interests and best skills

•         * favourite types of people

•         * ideal work environment

On the way to future ponders on how to make the most of school and college. The section details a goal setting tool to shape ones future. It also describes the usage of social networking and social media to boost your career.

The third section details on how to search and find your dream job. It describes in detail the top 10 mistakes job hunters make and how one can avoid them. The book also encourages the readers to be in vogue with the emerging career trends. The last chapter in this section guides in creating the life you want.
