4.0 out of 5 stars
Targeted for history majors and hits the mark,
By
This review is from: Great Jobs for History Majors (Vgm's Great Job Series) (Paperback)
Personally, this book was a great help to me. Although the strategies suggested for resume and cover letter writing (getting an interview and job) are nothing new, the second half of the book in which the authors describe five different career tracks are excellent in that they are directed specifically towards History Majors. While I originally pictured history majors going into either professional historian-type jobs (e.g. professors, authors) or classroom teaching, the authors very correctly pointed out that historical museums and other pubic education institutions are in need of people with history backgrounds as are businesses, etc. The advice is practical and the information proved to be very specific for me--a history major. Recommended for those of us with history backgrounds still trying to "find themselves" career wise.

This review is from: Great Jobs for History Majors (Great Jobs for ... Majors) (Paperback)
As a senior in college and not know what I want to do with my history degree, this book definitely presented a lot of options for me. This book helped me find that history majors are not confined to teaching and museum jobs!
