As a human resource director, Career Mechanics I provides a tool that I can use in a variety of ways such as counseling employees, recruitment and hiring and supervising. The value in Tom's approach is that it is to the point and based on real life situations that anyone can understand and relate to in their own situation - the underlying feeling is that Tom is truly sharing his experiences and what he learned from others over his lifetime - it is not simply a rehash of tired theory. As an individual with thoughts of my own future, Career Mechanics I offers a straightforward baseline of considerations that will help me keep perspective as I journey through my career. career planning is a significant part of the total life planning process and this work has been a tremendous asset in helping me clear the fog and rethink plans for my professional development.

Enhancing the value of Career Mechanics I is the ease of use and quick access to the specific topic of interest. The lay-out is clear and the writing is both concise and easy to read, sprinkled with stories and a style that makes for an easy read. The information provided can be accessed quickly to prep for a meeting or can be read at leisure to develop a more thoughtful approach to a variety of issues. Having worked with Tom personally on many related issues I find his approach very accommodating and his guidance very instructive - he has captured all of this in his book. I would highly recommend Career Mechanics I for Human Resource managers and any individual seriously looking for a practical guide to assist in career development. I know I will refer to this work often as a professional and for my personal edification.
