Finding Your Dream Job

(NAPSI)-Going to work shouldn't feel like a chore. That's the idea behind a new book that gives tips and expert advice to people who are changing careers by choice or due to circumstances that are beyond their control.

The hands-on guide focuses on helping people find a new job, start a new business or return to school.

The book, called "Your Dream Career For Dummies" (Wiley, $16.99), was written by Carol L. McClelland, Ph.D. Dr. McClelland founded Transition Dynamics Enterprises Inc., a career change consulting firm. She consults with people in job transitions, helping them create careers that combine their passions with their desired lifestyles and personal values.

The book draws on her experiences and knowledge to take readers through useful (and sometimes eye-opening) self-assessments that help people evaluate their current situations and identify the best ways to use their talents and skills.

Readers can use the book to create a detailed plan-of-action, and then to turn that plan into a real job-with the ultimate goal of blending their ideal career with the realities of their life.
