Who Should Use This Book?
This is more than a book of job descriptions. I?ve spent quite a bit of time thinking about how to make its contents
useful for a variety of situations, including:
# Exploring career options. The job descriptions in Part II give a wealth of information on many of the
most desirable jobs in the labor market. The assessment in Part I can help you focus your career options.
# Considering more education or training. The information helps you avoid costly mistakes in choos-
ing a career or deciding on additional training or education?and it increases your chances of planning a
bright future.
# Job seeking. This book helps you identify new job targets, prepare for interviews, and write targeted
resumes. The advice in Part III has been proven to cut job search time in half.
# Career planning. The job descriptions help you explore your options, and Parts III and IV provide
career planning advice and other useful information.

Source of Information
The job descriptions come from the good people at the U.S. Department of Labor, as published in the most recent
edition of the Occupational Outlook Handbook. The OOH is the best source of career information available, and
the descriptions include the most current, accurate data on jobs. Thank you to all the people at the Department of
Labor who gather, compile, analyze, and make sense of this information. It?s good stuff, and I hope you can make
good use of it.
