Booklist Review

``Designed to help you systematically explore careers in business and to relate them to yourself,'' this is a structured guide to careers in accounting, business data processing, finance, insurance and real estate, marketing, production and materials management, human-resources development and public relations, management and supervision, and small-business ownership and consulting. The authors highlight specific jobs under each of these broad categories and take a look at the field itself career paths, trends, salaries, opportunities, etc. Unfortunately for libraries, fill-in-the-blank self-evaluation forms are provided throughout as aids to the career-planning process. Each chapter includes sources of further information; bibliography of related reading and index appended. Gr. 9-12. SE. 650.14 Vocational guidance U.S. [OCLC] 86-60151
