From the Back Cover
Solving the quandry of every parent of a job seeker is Nella Barkley's step-by-step program, developed from her nationally recognized career-counseling service. She shows you how to *Become a coach to your client/child *Help your child define skills, interests, and values *Encourage goal setting *Coach your child on the technique of surveying *Role-play to make your child more effective in interviews *Point your child toward his or her true calling.
And along the way you just may discover something else: a richer and deeper relationship. Includes exercises throughout and a complete resource section.
Do you know that following a dream is the most practical career step your child can make? Below are 11 persistent (and pernicious) myths that every coach must guard against:
1. Parents have all the answers.
2. A job that pays well will make you happy.
3. Other people are in charge.
4. There is one perfect job for you.
5. If you choose a stable company, you will have a secure future.
6. Your first and most important job-search tool is a resume.
7. Work is nine to five.
8. Entrepreneurs are born.
9. Artists starve.
10. Work hard and you'll be rewarded.
11. The right credentials will get the job.
