Reader Reviews
This review is from: Great Jobs for Engineering Majors, Second Edition (Paperback)
Great Jobs for Engineering Majors is a good book to pick-up when you are finishing your degree in engineering. The first half covers searching for a job and the second half covers career paths such as careers in industry, consulting, government, education, and non-technical paths. It aids you in assessing your talents and skills, exploring your options, targeting your ideal career, and following through to get the job you really want. I only read the first edition but hopefully there is additional text to explain how to search for jobs using the Internet and various email strategies in this edition. That was the only thing missing from the 1st edition.
