Job Search. Sources of Additional Information

Hundreds of sources of career information exist, so here are a few we consider most helpful in getting additional information on the jobs listed in this book.

O*NET Dictionary of Occupational Titles: Revised on a regular basis, this book provides good descriptions for all jobs listed in the U.S. Department of Labor's O*NET database. There are 950 job descriptions at all levels of education and training, plus lists of related job titles in other major career information sources, educational programs, and other information. Published by JIST.

New Guide for Occupational Exploration, Fourth Edition: The new edition of the GOE is cross-referenced in the descriptions in Part II. The GOE provides helpful information to consider about each of the Interest Areas and Work Groups, descriptions of all O*NET jobs within each GOE group, and many other features useful for exploring career options. This most recent edition is published by JIST.

Enhanced Occupational Outlook Handbook: Updated regularly, this book provides thorough descriptions for almost 270 major jobs in the current Occupational Outlook Handbook, brief descriptions for the O*NET jobs that are related to each, brief definitions of thousands of more-specialized jobs from the Dictionary of Occupational Titles, and other information. Published by JIST.

Internet Resources

The U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics Web site: The Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics Web site (http://www·bls·gov) provides a lot of career information, including links to other Web pages that provide information on the jobs covered in this book. This Web site is a bit formal and, well, confusing, but it will take you to the major sources of government career information if you explore its options.

O*NET site: Go to http://www·onetcenter·org for a variety of information on the O*NET database, including links to sites that provide detailed information on the O*NET job titles presented in Part II of this book.

CareerOINK.com: This site (http://www·careeroink·com) is operated by JIST and includes free information on thousands of jobs (including all O*NET jobs included in 250 Best-Paying Jobs), easy-to-use crosswalks between major career information systems, links from military to civilian jobs, sample resumes, and many other features. A link at http://www·jist·com will also take you to the CareerOINK Web site.

Thanks

Thanks for reading this introduction. You are surely a more thorough person than those who jumped into the book without reading it, and you will probably get more out of the book as a result.

We wish you a satisfying career and, more importantly, a good life.
