BOOK REVIEW
"Thinking
Outside the Cubicle"
by Norman J. Meshriy
"Thinking
Outside the Cubicle" outlines steps aimed to drive you beyond your current
position toward a more fulfilling job that meets your goals.
A career
counselor, Norman Meshriy urges his readers to periodically assess their
career paths. His book has its roots in his experience in counseling and
in the jobs in which he has worked. The book proposes that you implement
a career "business plan" based on your values and strengths. He offers
assistance for writing one in the initial section.
In the second
part of the book Mershriy discusses tools for trying new approaches to
change an unsatisfying job into one that is rewarding and uplifting.
The final
section offers advice on refining your plan and offers techniques for
implementing the steps that could allow you to realize your job of the
future. The author's motto seems to be, "You are the key." Your success
depends on who you are and what you do with your unique capabilities and
your aspirations for your future.
