This fresh, innovative series has been written to dispel the notion that ”All the good jobs are taken.” By focusing on an interest rather than a specific field, each title presents job seekers with one hundred entry-level possibilities within their particular area of interest. Each entry contains a detailed description of what the job entails, what background and characteristics an applicant should have, the salary range, and prospects for advancement, plus profiles of successful representatives of each position.

Decisions, decisions...,
By Melissa (Akron, Ohio, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 100 Jobs in Words (100 Jobs Series) (Paperback)
I was struggling with deciding on my college major when I discovered this fantastic book. Not only did it help me decide my major, but it also allowed me to answer the question: "What can you do with an English major besides teach?" A lot, believe me! What helped most in making this decision was Mr. Meyer's interviews with people who actually hold each of these jobs. Good questions about what they do all day and where they see themselves in the future are answered honestly by each professional. I highly recommend this book to anyone who needs help deciding on what they want to do with their love of writing.

This review is from: 100 Jobs in Words (100 Jobs Series) (Paperback)
This is a bad time for English majors, says one of my professors. Most corporate communication departments have been combined with either marketing or sales or newsletters have been dumped on overworked managers. Book publishers are scaling back in order to not go bankrupt. Newspapers are laying of employees with decades of experience. They usually turn to freelance editing and writing, saturating that market.
There are still jobs and ways for word lovers to make money. But since this book was written in 1996 there are no references to how to make money online. Most of the jobs listed would have been great suggestions for the mid-nineties but times have changed too much for this industry. The things listed are too obvious and too saturated. The most helpful guidance book I've found on this subject so far was I'm an English Major Now What?.
