“Discover What You’re Best At” by Linda Gail.

I found this book when I was out of work due to an injury. You can do the self tests in half a day, and the jobs they suggest go from entry level to college graduate. When you can get up on a rainy Monday morning and feel okay about going to work you’ve solved most of life’s problems.

At what are you best? I usually got stuff like lumberjack or garbage man on aptitude tests at school.

There are six self tests in the book. Things like math, mechanical problems, leadership, etc.

A product demonstrator, a nurse, and a hair stylist all need good dexterity and good people skills. Three totally different jobs with similar skill sets.
