The Quick Job-hunting Map


Book Description

Abstract: A concise guide helps job-seekers to identify job applications which closely fit their talents and desires. The text is organized into 3 preparative sections: identifying specific, enjoyable personal skills; identifying specific applications for these skills; and identifying the kind of job desired, and the organizations that have that type of job in the desired geographical location. The overall information is then synthesized into actual interviews with people having the authority to hire (not the personnel department). The design of the text is intended to serve as a map leading to specific interviews for the desired job, offering the greatest potential for hiring. Illustrations and exercises are given throughout the text. (wz).

Career Planning, Development, and Management


Book Description

Substantial literature has emerged on the subject of career planning, development, and management. Academic research by economists, educators, political scientists, psychologists, and sociologists has made the study of careers in organizations an important interdisciplinary focus in the social sciences. This proliferation of materials has resulted from a growing concern with such career issues as quality of life, job opportunities for minorities and women, economic downturns, career mobility, and the changing success ethic. This annotated bibliography, first published in 1983, seeks to bring together in a single volume significant academic research from various disciplines.
