2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, April 13, 2003

This review is from: The Career Guide to the Horse Industry (Paperback)

It's a shame that Amazon.com doesn't have the "look inside" feature for this book, because it doesn't just "[include] tips on writing resumes, filling out applications, interviewing, and keeping a job," over ONE HUNDRED PAGES are devoted to this! And it's not even horse-industry-specific information, it's the same stuff you could find in any job-seeking guidebook. There are 71 horse-related careers that get a single-page outline each. Might be useful for someone who has absolutely no knowledge of the horse industry, or someone looking for a general job-hunting guide with a little horsey info at the end, but that's about it.

The Career Guide to the Horse Industry is an excellent reference for anyone interested in a career with horses. It is easy to understand and is loaded with helpful hints in securing a career within the horse industry. Its not cluttered with pictures or sucess stories as is other books.
Each chapter deals with a specific topic in a job-search within the horse industry.

This book has opened my eyes to finally decide to work with horses for the rest of my life.. I love horses and this book showed me that I now can have a career with them. My parents were amazed at the endless opportunities illustrated in the book. It is worth the money ,as every page is informative.
