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.
