CAREER PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT IN REVERSE by DR. CARL POWE REVIEW



This is a book I highly recommend for College Students to read BEFORE starting College.

Carl Powe is a military man. He has spent over 50 years in the work force. He has done a wide variety of command positions with the Military, and held many jobs in technical fields including the aerospace industry. This man knows a thing or two about Career goals and planning for retirement.

One of his key pieces of advice is to plan for retirement as early as possible!!

That is one thing my Husband and I did. When we first got married, we decided to have our first child, first home, and start saving for retirement by the time we were 30. We did all that.


"This book is for you if you:

* Are among the 90% of the population who did not plan your career

* Have a need to change careers

* Are a teacher or guidance counselor

* Work with young people"

About the Author-

" During his employment and education experiences, Dr. Powe had extensive interpersonal working relations with German, Danish, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, and U.S personnel. Throughout his life, he has had an avocation of studying the reasons for successes or failures in life. He sought to assist young people in the pursuit of their goals and objectives. The contents of "Career Planning and Development in reverse" depict more than fifty years of study and experiences in the field of career development and planning."

I really found the chapters on Entrepreneurism and What is Work really helpful and interesting. Dr.Powe goes into specifics on what it takes to start your own business, and the steps needed to keep it going strong.

Dr.Powe also references alot of great resources for writing and improving your resume the right way.

If you would like to give this book a read, you can get it at Amazon for $22.95.

~~All opinions expressed are 100% mine. I was not paid for this review. I did receive a copy of the book to read~~
