Relax. You Don’t Have to
You don’t need to read this entire book. I’ve organized it into easy-to-use sections so you can get just the informa-
tion you want. You will find everything you need to
★ Learn about the 100 top careers for college graduates, including their daily tasks, pay, outlook, and
required education and skills.
★ Match your personal skills to the careers.
★ Take seven steps to land a good job in less time.
To get started, simply scan the table of contents to learn more about these sections and to see a list of the jobs
described in this book. Really, this book is easy to use, and I hope it helps you.
Who Should Use This Book?
This is more than a book of job descriptions. I’ve spent quite a bit of time thinking about how to make its contents
useful for a variety of situations, including
★ Exploring career options. The job descriptions in Part II give a wealth of information on many of
the most desirable jobs in the labor market. The assessment in Part I can help you focus your career
options.
★ Considering more education or training. The information helps you avoid costly mistakes in
choosing a career or deciding on additional training or education—and it increases your chances of
planning a bright future.
★ Job seeking. This book helps you identify new job targets, prepare for interviews, and write targeted
resumes. The advice in Part III has been proven to cut job search time in half.
★ Career planning. The job descriptions help you explore your options, and Parts III and IV provide
career planning advice and other useful information.

Source of Information
The job descriptions come from the good people at the U.S. Department of Labor, as published in the most recent
edition of the Occupational Outlook Handbook. The OOH is the best source of career information available, and the
descriptions include the most current, accurate data on jobs. Thank you to all the people at the Department of Labor
who gather, compile, analyze, and make sense of this information. It’s good stuff, and I hope you can make good
use of it.
