    September 10, 2008: Virginia Byrd, CEO Career Balance, Encinitas, California says---- This book answers a query that I often hear from adults who are on a career search and using the original book by Richard Bolles, 'Why didn't I have this kind of help when I was young? I could have avoided mistakes that I made in choosing work that was not right for me.' To those who are parents, I strongly recommend that they offer it to their teens NOW! It will appeal to them because they like to assert their independence and make decisions for themselves. The book provides easy steps to take in a process long established as the best way to find the right career, as well as tools, techniques, examples and resources on the Internet Teens can even use it to enhabce their on-line profile and share it with their friends.
