The Talented Life

Book Review: A Conversation with "Careers By The People" author Mike Wysocki

Mike Wysocki's early search for a career glaringly reflected what the majority of students, mid-lifers, and undecideds often confront, learning what professional fields are available. Part of the challenge, according to Mike, is that career information is disbursed to a range of sources making it difficult for individuals to find what they need. Thus, Mike has done a favor for the career development industry. He has written a book titled, "Careers By The People" which seeks to be a trusted source for readers seeking life-changing careers. Please join us for a fun conversation.
