This was an insightful read for someone who is experiencing the job market first-hand. Although most of the information is not new, the exercises and activities do challenge you to think deeply and learn more about yourself and help visualize your goals. As a self-help book, this is very accessible and will help lots of job seekers out there.

Career on Course helps rethink your career choices, and most importantly your value system.
It isn't exactly anything new, but if you're rethinking your career and need help finding direction, this book can help you.
Its writing style is direct and easy to follow, nothing too complicated. There are a few exercises that will take you time to pause and reflect.
This book is lacking a bit of the female perspective, and has a very male take on career advancement.

I read this in the midst of a job and career change, and was very happy to have this as a resource. I think the reader will come away with good skills that benefit anyone working on a team in an office setting. The author was a bit hard to relate to as his successes seemed a bit too lofty as to be relatable. I would definitely read this along with other career books for best advice.

Sometimes, when we talk about careers, we always think that careers comes to us, and not that we can control what career we want to have. But Scott Miller has showed us how to have plan on a long term track in our career. It is importatnt to build our brand so people can know us more and more.

This was an excellent, easy to digest, but thought-provoking read. The format of the book focused on 10 key concepts, each with an exercise for readers to complete. The content is relevant for everyone, whether you’re just beginning your career or you’re mid-senior level. I’ll definitely read this again and spend more time thoughtfully completing each exercise.

The book offers valuable content and provides some insightful advice that can benefit readers. However, I found a significant overlap with concepts from other self-help books, making it somewhat repetitive.

Thanks Netgalley for the ARC!

This book reads like the career mentor you’ve probably never had. It emphasizes the importance of intentional career development through knowing your values, building your personal brand and always, always, always be working on your self-awareness muscle. This book advocates for taking ownership of your relationship with your boss, networking outside of your organization, and disrupting yourself so you and your skills will always be relevant.

Interesting and insightful read. Subject matter attracted me to read this book, Subject content was thoughtfully explored and well written.

The book gives me the impression of an "instant-noodles" kind of a book, which means it's fast, easy-to-read, compact and straight-forward. This book is great for the young adults in their early 20s or even earlier than that. It has many good advices. Although for me there are not so many new points to learn, there are quite many things to remember and they linger in me.

The book has a good introduction chapter that gives an overview look of what it is going to discuss. Therefore, it's easy to follow. Throughout the book, I feel like I was talking to the author directly and he is like my mentor in career. The book has clear examples, exercises and summaries, taking action is very important during or after reading a book, therefore, this is a plus for me.

There are some minor points. For example, in some chapters, I felt like the author's ideas was hard to follow, sometimes it was too much of beating around the bushes. The ending felt a bit rushy. Chapter 10's exercise targeted only focused on social network growth which I think doesn't apply for everyone. Networking is not only about social networks.

Interesting read for a newbie here but nothing much that I haven’t read in other self help books so far. I must admit that there were a few exercises that are well worth trying them.
It will definitely appeal to many readers.

Filled with great reminders for anyone looking to make changes or improvements in any area of life. The exercises are helpful to brainstorm and think about next steps.
