Synopsis
We spend at least one-third of our lives working. But what makes work meaningful and rewarding? Career expert Donna Dunning writes that work is satisfying if it interests you and allows you to do the things you enjoy. But she also notes that work that is interesting and enjoyable for one person may be totally unsuitable for another. She states that is because of people's differing personalities. Whether you are just starting out, looking for a change, exploring business ideas, or thinking about retirement activities, What's Your Type of Career will show readers how to find work in that perfect career.
