Are you getting what you want from work? Are you excelling at your career?
It turns out these two questions are related and unless you are using the strengths of your personality type, chances are you will not achieve both goals. Over the course of a lifetime, people can spend 80,000 hours at work. With this much time invested, your career should be interesting, motivating and rewarding. And in our competitive, rapidly changing society, you need to know how to be effective and competent at work or you may find yourself unemployed or passed over for promotion.
Focusing on day-to-day behaviour and providing practical tips and strategies, 10 Career Essentials becomes your personal career coach by showing you how to work effectively, get recognition and steer your career in the direction you want to go. The 10 career essentials are - Ask yourself for directions; Optimize your outlook; Put yourself in charge; Learn from everyone; Relate to anyone; Cultivate your curiosity; Disentangle your thoughts; Exceed expectations; Thrive in uncertainty; Promote your progress. While these ideas may sound simple, applying them takes skill and practice. 10 Career Essentials is packed with self-assessment tools and tips to help you implement your personal career strategy.

Donna Dunning's 10 Career Essentials is not a book about finding a career; rather, it addresses the all-important notion of matching personality type to career goals. This well-written and organized book guides the reader through ten essential career success strategies, each of which is thoroughly described and accompanied by specific examples. At the end of each success strategy is a Reflection and Action section which contains an exercise to help the reader with self-assessment.
