Pragmatic and Informative
An excellent book for the job seeker who is in anyway affiliated with any number of mechanical, engineering or technical employment(s). As an employer it gave me keen insight what to look for in a resume and who, amongst the potential applicants, is genuinely qualified and honestly knowledgeable of the type of work he or she is applying for. The author did her homework. Very very good, a little dated for the 21st century but thats only because terminology constantly changes as everything evolves at the pace that it does. Still, it is an excellent book. ... Read more

Not a Hotel Course, but Good for Career Changers
I don't agree with the gentleman from Mexico.Career changers should consider catering as a second career, especially if you enjoy cooking.Not only does this book gives you a good overview of catering and possible careers in the food/hospitality industry, but it gives you resources to really think about creating a business out of catering.Hotel students should not pick up this book because it is not meant to be a textbook or a course.That is where the gentleman from Mexico is entirely off base.My advice is for him to enroll in a real hospitality course, get a degree, and spend thousands of dollars on it for his level of expectation.For what I got out of this, it helped me decide whether I wanted to pursue catering as a business or not.

Down-to-earth advice.
I got the ebook version, and thought it was one of the more informative books out there on starting a catering career.I like how it covers other opportunities in catering and even goes into the business of catering.

Thinking outside the Box
The authors need to be appreciated for constantly updating the choices for a career in information field.

It has endless information on Career Possibilities for Bookworms, Careers in Libraries, Careers in Book Publishing, Careers in the Private Sector, Careers with Magazines and Newspapers, Careers in Glamour Industries, Careers in Education, Careers in Research, Careers with the Government, More Career Opportunities for Bookworms.

This book gives an insight of the vision the authors have for old and new professionals in the field.

One may wonder why all this focus on print medium, and not a single chapter dealing with new incarnations of the book: e-books, desktop publishing, etc. Hope and pray the next edition will incorporate the newer paths, and show that the box is not limited, anyways.

Disappointing
Unlike the other reviewers, I found this book to be less than helpful.Yes, it does talk some about different literary-related fields, and I stress some, but the book lacks serious discussion of those careers.Plus, it gives limited resources for finding out more information....no websites and no mention of other literary career-related books.It only lists a few professional associations for each career.Also, there were no surprises as to which careers were selected, such as...becoming a librarian.If you just want a taste of what literary careers are out there, this book is worth a skim at your local bookstore, but if you really want to find out about these careers, follow up with books specifically geared toward a particular career.

GOOD OPPORTUNITIES
Do you love to read and wish to turn your love of words into a new career? If so, this slim volume describes a number of jobs for people who love to read. Bookworms share their career experiences for those who love the written word and want to do more with their skill of reading.

The book describes the particular field in which a Bookworm can utilize their skills ( librarian, teacher, copy editor, etc.), tells you of any educational requirements needed, and gives a brief bibliography of additional resources at the chapter's end.

Careers for Bookworms is good in that introduces you to the various careers out there available for advidreaders. Unfortunately it fails to discuss any internet possibilities for bookworms. Although it lists the jobs available, it fails to give in depth descriptions as to how one finds these jobs. The book certainly needs a revision but is a good start in those seeking career opportunities in reading books. ... Read more
