Walks readers through a step-by-step process to identify their strengths and interests and match them to appropriate jobs. Readers use a Work Interest Profiler (WIP) based on the career research of Dr. John Holland and devised by the U.S. Department of Labor’s O*NET system.
Provides in-depth descriptions of approximately 35 jobs per volume and includes resources for further information. Special sidebars outline exercises that encourage readers to “hire themselves” and learn firsthand what the job is like.
Includes a roundtable interview with a selection of successful professionals from different branches of the career cluster who describe how they got started and what helped them succeed. Discussions teach readers how to begin networking early and how to gather career advice from established professionals. Throughout each volume, 10 Big Questions and 10 Big Activities help readers create their own personal career exploration portfolio. The activities help readers ask the right questions about what kind of career they want and how they can prepare for it and encourage them to become their own best counselor.
