Penguin Books

The realization often comes to us in the form of a question, one day at work: what am I doing here?  Followed by: but what else would I do? 

Julie Jansen can totally relate; more than a decade ago, she published the first edition of her bookI Don't Know What I Want, But I Know It's Not This

She's updated it several times, with a new edition out this week.  The basic approach remains the same: helping readers in unsatisfying jobs--or unemployed--figure out what jobs would best use their skills and interests.  Prepare for some quizzes and self-examinations as Julie Jansen joins us with the latest on seeking a meaningful job.
