indispensable education for those who want to make it.......1999-02-03
The most comprehensive work ever written in this subject. Throughout reading it or learning from it one feels that the author has not only learned it from textbooks but mastered it through tough deals, negotiations. Reccommend to every aspirant who wants to become a player in this field. This is a treasure for those non US based applicants who lack the business environment which is natural in the States but still want to make it to a US Stock Exchange
Book Description
A classic! Descriptions for 270 major jobs covering 90% of the workforce and summary information on additional jobs.
Customer Reviews:
save the few bucks!.......2007-09-03
This book is totally useless. It doesn't include any information that isn't available for free on the internet. Most students/clients know a lot more about occupations than this book can offer, anyway. It provides only general information which is not applicable to clients in specific regions of the country. An overview of customer service jobs, for example, is totally useless- it doesn't differentiate between high-end customer service and low-end retail. Anybody who has ever had a job already knows the difference. And the median salary is meaningless to clients- it's just an average of what one makes in NYC vs., say, Florida.
This is a waste of (albeit very little) money.

It's all about Retention!!!.......2007-02-21
I hear the same story all day long... "I lost my job but it wasn't my fault!". Sometimes this is true...and sometimes it's not. Usually the latter. I don't fault these people because I think deep down people don't know how to keep a job. This book is truly realistic and honest in coaching someone how to keep the job they worked hard to get. It walks you through behavioral coaching, socially appropriate and inappropriate behavior, how to maneuver in the business world today (very different from our parents' generation!). It's a great read and I think EVERYONE would benefit...regardless where you are on the ladder (including the execs!!!).
Offers a wealth of "user friendly" advice.......2002-05-11

Young Person's Pccupational Outlook Handbook.......2000-05-27
This book is a well-organized reference for children from 1stthrough 12th grade, but targeted at those under 12. The book is not adry page by page drool of words. The quick reference information is displayed pictorally. Each job is given a single page, and divided into several components. Each page has a short paragraph explaining day to day responsibilities, and a quick reference section that delineates education required, earnings and job outlook. Younger readers will be interested in the `subjects to study' paragraph which gives the reader a good basis for what academic areas they need to be strong in. Each job description has a `discover more' paragraph that takes the younger reader through a hands on example of what the job entails. The `something extra' section for each job adds interesting facts about the job that are not readily apparent. This book is a must for guidance counselors at all levels and parents should strongly consider adding it to their library.

Customer Reviews:
Very good book.......2002-12-11
Although I haven't read this book in print form, I have read it online for free. It's very authoritative and full of information. The only problem I have is that it lacks subjectivity: doesn't tell you the "problems" a certain career might have or its workload.
In conclusion, every student or non-student who's just looking for a different career path will benefit from the info in this book.
Ideal reference for perosnal job and career research........2000-05-04
In its Occupational Outlook Handbook 2000-2001, The U.S. Department of Labor provides exhaustive, accurate, up-to-date information on all major jobs and occupations in the United States. This easy to use, authoritative, and definitive reference offers the most useful database of information on jobs and salaries available today. All jobs are arranged into logical clusters, making it simple to find a given occupation. The descriptions are clearly written and replete with pertinent and useful information on skills, pay, working conditions, training, educational prerequisites and more. Occupational Outlook Handbook 2000-2001 is an essential, core reference title for school and community job center counseling, and ideal for personal job and career research.
A big help.......1999-07-27
It's definitely a good book to have, if anything because it's very clearly cross-referenced. I got a lot out of it, and have been lending it out to a lot of my friends. VaultReports publishes similar stuff which is also pretty good.
