Get career fit online
Whether you are a hard copy or digital book reader, it always helps to have additional online resources to read and refer to along the way. Scattered through the book are many exercises and checklists to help you progress through the Career Reinvention Cycle (which you will learn about shortly) and get career fit. Supporting these activities are a selection of online resources including worksheets and tips, which you can also download from:

Getting and keeping career fit takes focus and effort, and you will need to do lots of thinking and planning. The exercises in this book will help you do just that. If you skim through them, you aren’t likely to make as much progress as you would like. By keeping them as a handy reference, you’ll be able to refer back to them and track your progress throughout your career leap adventure.
As you’ll soon see, making a career leap isn’t something you do just once. You’ll leap multiple times during your career, at different stages and ages, and for different reasons.
Keep the work you do for this leap easily accessible — it will help you next time, and the time after that. It will be interesting to see what has changed for you each time too.
Enjoy the experience, get career fit and make your career leap count.
