Review

What kinds of jobs allow employees to frequently travel long distances? This could have been reviewed under our 'business' shelf, but is mentioned here because any who relish travel will want to know about the jobs which make travel part of their routines. This isn't just a general guide: names, addresses and phone numbers of potential employers accompany job descriptions and requirements. -- Midwest Book Review --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

3.0 out of 5 stars Traditional Ideas, April 21, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Jobs for People Who Love to Travel: Opportunities at Home and Abroad (Jobs for Travel Lovers) (Paperback)

I waited a long time for this book - it was on back-order. And while it gave some good information about jobs I already knew existed, it didn't really give me any ideas for jobs I hadn't already considered.

So, if you want a traditional job involving travel, or to work in the travel industry, buy this book for more details and contact information. Don't buy it if, like me, you're looking for new ideas on how to make a living on the road.

5.0 out of 5 stars More than a book about travel jobs, April 9, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Jobs for Travel Lovers: Opportunities at Home and Abroad (Paperback)

For the reviewers who feel this book doesn't go into enough depth for travel jobs you have missed the point and unfortunately your career(s) will suffer from this. The book talks about travel jobs and gives websites etc. But more importantly it will help open your eyes to approaching your job search from the standpoint of doing what 'you' want to do - not what an employer puts down in a 3 sentence job description. This book is actually one of the best 'career guides' I have seen. Do yourself a favor and read between the lines here.

Authors talked for 282 pages but didn't say anything. This entire book could be reduced to an informative pamphlet.
