The Career Troubleshooter - What People are saying
This book helps you go the distance in your career -- whether in a job search, career change, new job, managing a new group, in a rut, at a career dead-end, or a career conundrum. The Top 50 job and career Web sites, makeovers for resumes and cover letters, roadmap for values-based decisions in your job search, ideas for recession-proofing your career, and frequently asked questions for interviews are a gold mine of information.
The Career Troubleshooter is like a guidebook, user's manual, strategy playbook, and tip sheet all rolled into one.

Sherrie Taguchi's extraordinary experience enlightens and enlivens her wealth of advice, exercises, and resources. Clearly shining through are her knowledge from hiring hundreds of employees in industry (financial services, consumer products, and retail), developing and mentoring teams firsthand, and advising thousands of individuals who care about their careers -- from Stanford MBAs to mid-career professionals to CEOs.
I like the way the book covers the variety of challenges me and so many of my friends are facing now or will face during the course of our careers...challenges such as what's next, coming back from a career break, dealing with a bad boss or difficult colleagues, deserving a raise or promotion, dealing with a dead end career path. These are all very real issues for us today and the practical, straightforward strategies, advice, and steps to take are not only incredibly helpful but give a sense of empowerment in how to take positive steps towards resolution.
As someone who has led MBA recruiting and hired/managed a wide range of talented people, I've seen those who can overcome career or work-related challenges before they turn into out-of-control problems and those who don't have a clue. This book offers relevant, timely, and incredibly helpful advice for 21 of the most common career challenges. Taguchi shares what you need to do to thrive through the challenges while strengthening your career and satisfaction with work.
Sherrie offers wonderfully structured and well thought out practical advice. She has an enormous passion and gift for inspiring and helping others make the most of their careers and figure out how to live their best work lives. Our jobs are major factors in determining our happiness in life and this book addresses many of the career challenges that most everyone will face either now or in the future. The straight up advice, caring style, and actionable strategies and steps, make The Career Troubleshooter an easy and enjoyable read.
Marvelous resource! Thoughtfully and thoroughly addresses the many challenging situations people find themselves in for their jobs, careers, and workplaces.
I have seen Sherrie Taguchi in action. She has an amazing ability to teach and inspire others. She is an extraordinary example of someone who is living her true calling -- her purpose, passion, and path. Sherrie's own depth of experiences in industry and education, natural generosity of heart, and positive energy imbue and inform her work. I particularly admire how Sherrie can help people from all kinds of backgrounds, figure out how to take steps to make their work lives the most fulfilling possible.
This book is like Oprah, Dr. Phil, and Dear Abby for Careers all in one!
If you want to have your best career, this book is an incredible resource. Taguchi draws on her depth of experience in industry and education as an executive in recruiting and career development. She gives you real world solutions, creative ideas, and a wealth of tips and tools. I'd recommend it for all students to get a head start on how to sidestep common work challenges, professionals who want to take action on building a meaningful and successful career, managers who want to coach their employees through their challenges, and career development professionals who are advising their students on career management for a lifetime.
This book lets you play at the top your game. It gives you winning strategies, the right moves, and great coaching.
Illuminating and inspiring! Sage advice for anyone wanting to come back from a career break. As a working mom who stopped out of a fast track career to have two children, then went on to start up a successful CPA and professional services firm, I applaud Sherrie Taguchi's accessible and actionable strategies and tips on everything you need to know to face the challenges of returning to work after time off or downshifting in your career. I hire and mentor many men and women who are grappling with work-family challenges. This book is a wealth of practical guidance. The useful exercises and resources that allow you to figure out what's next for your career then what to do to get there, are priceless.
