Reviews

YA-- Two practical, informative guides that provide job descriptions, approximate salaries, promotion opportunities, and addresses for more information in a readable, entertaining fashion. One particularly helpful subsection in each chapter of Plawin's work is entitled, ``The Daily Routine.'' The conclusion in each book is similar, providing realistic insights into the actual job hunt, although Seelye's description is more comprehensive.
