Ten Speed Press What Color Is Your Parachute For Teens

100 % satisfied with this product, i have read this book and serve to understand the way kids wil achive their goals

I am a Career and AD/HD Coach and a parent of a teen and college graduate. I have helped many teens and young adults - from 15 - 29 - identify their transferable skills and prepare a short-list of career options using this book. I find that my teen clients easily grasp the straight-forward approach and benefit from completing the Discovery Exercises. By identifying real life examples where a teen solved a problem, met a challenge or reached a goal, a student learns about his/her talents and sees how those talents could be valuable to a future employer. More importantly, they obtain advice about how to create a fulfilling life. This particular exercise helps students who might not be scholastically inclined just as much as it helps those who are at the top of their class. With my own children, the principles and "game plan" outlined in the book have helped me enlighten, guide and encourage my children. I highly recommend the book to parents, AD/HD and Career Coaches and teens who want the most out of life.

This is a brilliant book not just for teenagers. I had a read too and it is very eye opening and makes you think about what you do is really what you wanna do with your life. It gives you the skill to figure out where your strength is or your weaknesses. It is so hard for teens to decide what job to go for or even find a field of interest in the first place and I think this book will give a good amount of help.

Truthfully; I did not read this book - I bought it for my grandson. I did skim through it and my grandson said that he enjoyed the book. I bought the adult version of "What Color is Your Parachute" in 1996. I was about to retire from the Navy and start the next chapter in my life - the book was great. I believe that the teen version is probably even more useful. How many teens know what their apptitudes are and which career they are best suited for? I recommend that parents and grandparents purchase this book for their teenagers. It can provide guidance in a very uncertain period in their lives. SDSerf

Book arrived today as part of the free super saver delivery bundle. It was just loose in the box with the other items but wasnt damaged in any way, perfectly intact. This book is a present for my niece but I did have a quick flick though it to see if it would be useful. Although we're in the UK, a lot of the web links in the book are for the USA and it talks about 'high school' in the american sense. If i had known this I probably would've ordered a different book. Maybe it will be helpful - when she tells me I will update this. I've put 4 stars as the book arrived in perfect condition but its just the American info wont be of much use for a teen in the UK.
