Do What You Are introduces Personality Type - how you process information, make decisions and interact with the world around you - and shows you which of the 16 types describes you best. It lists dozens of occupations that are popular with people of your type. Then, using workbook exercises and real-life examples to highlight the strengths and pitfalls of each personality type, it shows you step-by-step how to use your unique strengths to customise your job search, ensuring the best results in the shortest period of time. And if you plan to stay in your job, Do What You Are provides savvy advice for getting the most out of your current career. Every other career guide offers generic, one-size-fits-all advice. But because it is based on personality type, Do What You Are helps you determine what you need to be more successful and satisfied. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great bookI bought this book as an additional Myers Briggs resource. I know it was designed to help people choose a job, but it is a great resource on personalities in general.

Rating: - The place to start your career.I recruit, train, and develop independent contractors and employees. To develop a person costs me personal time and money. When I started it was luck, not science. Now, job matching is much easier because I understand this information. Now, we have a real discussion in interviews and not a turn my weakness into strengths - hide and seek. When an applicant already knows it we are near Win/Win or No Fit. If the applicant has no idea, it is a perfect ... Read More Rating: - (Partially) Flawed Framework?There is a very important section on what's called your Hierarchy of Functions that I believe is flawed. It works for Extrovert types (Exxx), but not for Introvert types (Ixxx). So if you're E, the book is fantastic. But if you're I, things go a little (not totally) haywire. You'll be able to tell because the description of your tendencies will be close, but a little off, and recommended career options won't seem to quite resonate with you. So you're left having to puzzle things out more on your own. ... Read More
