Readable and well laid out...[This book] has a thorough table of contents and an index of resources by career field. (Choice )
A good update of the series of books which began in 1982. This book is particularly strong on resources (books, directories, etc.) and provides an excellent overview of the kinds of things that one does with a college degree. It reads well and is highly attuned to the kinds of things that are on the minds of graduating seniors.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great all purpose job search guide,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Harvard Guide to Careers (Paperback)
As a professional career advisor, I have used this guide countless times with clients who are beginning job searches or who need help with particular types of correspondence related to the job search. The book includes great sample resumes and business letters. This is a very fine resource that I highly recommend.
