Author Description

The Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH for short) is revised and updated every two years -- it's consistently one of the most up-to-date occupational references available. JIST's editions have sold tens of thousands of copies in the trade, and once again, JIST will offer a quality reprint to the trade in both soft-and hardcover editions. And this year, JIST extends a special discount: all trade orders for the OOH received prior to December 31, 2001 earn two additional discount points! The OOH is one of the best-known government publications. It's used by job seekers for career exploration and for resume and interview preparation. Counselors, teachers, and career coaches refer to it in their work with students and clients, and many who work in education and business settings routinely purchase the newest OOH edition. The book is an excellent resource for career-related activities and interests, and business people refer to the OOH when writing job descriptions, among other uses. Occupations in the OOH cover about 90% of the workforce. Thorough descriptions include nature of work, working conditions, employment, training, qualifications, advancement, ten-year job outlook, earnings, related occupations, and sources of additional information. The government offers the OOH for sale, but your retail price is very competitive. And JIST's early-order discount (two extra points on orders received prior to December 31, 2001) is a terrific incentive to try the OOH in the career section of your store.
