The OOH is the most widely respected and used career reference available. It features well-written, interesting descriptions for 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 websites. Each description takes up 3-5 pages.

The book is packed with photos and practical, current information, which makes it invaluable for anyone doing career research, making career decisions, writing resumes, and preparing for interviews.

A new section covers green careers. It includes an introduction about the meaning and importance of green careers, followed by descriptions and photos of occupations such as Solar Energy Production Workers, Energy Auditors, and other emerging green careers.

 

A Personality-Career Quiz helps match readers to the OOH jobs. The quiz is based on the six personality types - Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional.

 

Also included is "How Educators, Counselors, Librarians, and Business Professionals Can Best Use the OOH."
