Sociology? What is it? Is it for you?,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Great Jobs for Sociology Majors (Paperback)
Great Jobs for Sociology Majors offers help in deciding if sociology is a major for you and has comments on expanding your knowledge while in school, job searching, networking, and the possibilities of graduate school. The other half of the book describes job opportunities in a variety of areas and help with career paths for advancement. A comprehensive book you'll come away more knowledgable and with great ideas for your future.

This review is from: Great Jobs for Sociology Majors (Great Jobs for ... Majors) (Kindle Edition)
I figured this book would be about different jobs in Sociology. I was disappointed for the beginning. The first 30% of the book was about writing résumés, and searching for jobs. The rest of the book goes over the logical picks for Sociology majors, Teaching, Social work, Management and Research. I felt like I learned nothing new from it and wasted 10 bucks. You can find all this information on the internet.

This review is from: Great Jobs for Sociology Majors, 2nd Ed. (Paperback)
Bought this for my Sociology Major daughter, especially since I had also been a Liberal Arts major graduating into a recession. I previewed this book, and thought it had excellent tips on punching up your resume to focus on your transferrable skills. Also great ideas on how to handle interviews. Seemed very well-organized, too.
