Preface

The landscape of working world has undergone fundamental change driven by the speed of technology innovation. Sadly and unfortunately, the irrelevance of our educational system and the working world has created such wonders, confusions and disappointments to young graduate and employees and even employers.

I believe that working is part of our life to contribute to the society. And I believe that this process should also be as meaningful as the above for anyone in the pursue of life journey to become a better person. Thus, a career self help book like this one is in the making to share the knowledge, tools and advice, to assist readers to know more about oneself inside and explore the unknown work world outside. I thank every reader of this blog who contribute valuable feedback and generous sharing of life experience with us. Once the book is mature to publish, it will be distribute freely to the public.

This self help book is dedicated to people who are seeking for a career in life. One may take this as a compass to get a better direction in the jungle, but never as a treasure hunt map! The author does not guarantee the career success of one after completing this book simply because success lies in the hands of those who wants it.
