Coming Soon: The Career Explorer's Journal 2013

I’m delighted to announce the new edition of The Career Explorer’s Journal will soon be available to download. It’s exciting to think about what’s ahead but over the last few days I’ve also been looking back. So, if you’re interested in the short version of the journal’s own history of exploration and discovery, read on…

I wrote the first edition of the book in 2009 and published it in 2010. If you’d asked me back then, the idea of writing new updates each year couldn’t have been further from my mind. Back then, after all those months of research and writing, I’d have said the book already contained everything I was ever likely to know about work and careers, what more could I say?

I couldn’t have been more wrong because in the book’s first year I got loads of feedback, or as an explorer would call it: new evidence. This feedback (good and bad) improved the book enormously but the experience of listening to it also changed me as a writer. The two factors combined to evolve The Career Explorer’s Journal to such a degree that by the end of its first year, it felt like a new book. The same thing has happened every year since.

Today, your feedback is still helping us do everything even better. As a result the 2013 edition of The Career Explorer’s Journal is even more up to the task of delivering individual support and even more tuned-in to the world of work and careers today. If you asked me now about the single biggest difference between 2009 and the book as it is today, I’d answer the same way I introduce the new edition. With a famous thought from Francis Bacon that compelled me to go forward despite my doubts because starting with doubt leads to certainty. In 2010 I was doubtful, in 2013 I am certain. Absolutely certain The Career Explorer’s Journal supports and encourages a new journey of discovery for every single reader.

Throughout 2013 our plan is to engage with more readers and new career explorers here and across social media. As well as more news about the new edition’s launch, I’m hoping to introduce you to a few new team members very soon, plus some very special news for owners of the journal’s previous editions.

In the meantime, thanks for visiting, reading, sharing your feedback and (most of all) for exploring!
