Plot out your path to a rewarding work life. The world of work is changing with head-spinning speed. Now more than ever, you need to find your footing—and design your personalized road map to job satisfaction and career success. Career Mapping offers a template for figuring out who you are and what you can offer to the work world. Inspired by the author’s own experiences as a college recruiter and executive recruiter, as well as a woman who broke through to the executive ranks in two male-dominated industries, it addresses an array of situations, from just starting out to navigating the corporate maze to launching a new business or anticipating retirement. It offers case studies of people at different stages of their careers, and provides a step-by-step process for customizing your own job hunting and career management strategies. With thought-provoking questions; candid revelations from her own inspiring journey; and vital advice from Ginny Clarke’s experiences interviewing, recruiting, and coaching thousands of professionals and executives, Career Mapping explains the oft-misunderstood executive search process, demystifies how you can make yourself a more desirable job candidate, and reveals how to avoid the devastating pitfalls that have derailed careers.

They have answers.” —The New York Times Designers create worlds and solve problems using design thinking.
