Required Texts:

Neault, R. (2012). Time to prepare: Developing portfolios, resumes, and interview skills. Life Strategies (PDF).

  • Note: We recommend purchasing Neault, R. (2012). Career strategies for a lifetime of success (3rd ed). Aldergrove, BC: Life Strategies (PDF or print) if you’re completing a full certificate as it includes all “Time to” chapters.

Shepard, B. C., & Mani, P. S. (Eds.) (2014). Career development practice in Canada. CERIC. (eBook or Print available from CERIC).

  • Note: The Shepard & Mani (2014) textbook is a required reading throughout the Career Management Professional Program. Students taking individual courses, therefore, may only refer to a chapter or two; however, this resource is a wonderful addition to your professional toolkit.

Optional Text

For this course, students will be able to choose one of the additional texts. Choose Career Flow and Development for more general educational and career planning tips, strategies, and supports. Choose Career Recovery for more targeted supports for those navigating career transitions within a post-pandemic world. The content of both books is very similar; the vignettes and activities are customized to resonate with the different purposes for each book. Course readings will be mapped to the appropriate chapter numbers for each book.
