Product Description
Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2008-2009 (OOH), features well-written interesting descriptions for nearly 270 major jobs in the U.S. and summary information on additional jobs. For each job, the book discusses the nature of the work, working conditions, job outlook, training and education needed, earnings, related occupations, and additional information sources, including Web sites. Packed with practical, current information, the OOH is an invaluable resource for anyone doing career research, making career decisions, writing resumes, and preparing for interviews. Known for timely and accurate publishing of this resource and its rock-bottom price, JIST offers two exclusive bonus sections in this comprehensive career reference. Brand new to this edition of the OOH is the Personality-Career Quiz, which helps readers match themselves to the OOH jobs. The quiz is based on the six personality types-Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional.

The Encyclopedia of Career Information June 22, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I've used various editions of the OOH for 20 years. It is a central tool for those looking for information about careers and jobs out there ... rich detail, much data on occupational projections and salaries, but not to the point of being mind-numbing (which would be easy to do.) On the other extreme, much of the career literature & reference material is simplistic, basic, or paternalizing and the OOH does NOT stray into over-simplifying the world of work.
While most/all of the latest OOH is available on-line for free, I still purchase a paper copy every two years. It is THAT valuable to have on my bookshelf for the extensive work that I do with people who are in the beginning or middle of their career development.
