Career Counseling: A Holistic Approach Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been teaching Career Counseling for years and finally decided to try the Zunker text. What a mistake. Yes, it is comprehensive. But it is written like a bad lit review. Endless citations of research with little synthesis. It is hard for students to see the big picture! I will stick with the Niles/Harris-Bowlsbey text (Career Development Interventions in the 21st Century) for my Career Counseling course, and the Sharf text (Applying Career Development Theory to Counseling) for more advanced courses in Vocational Theory.

This highly successful book has been called the most comprehensive text on the market, providing students with needed career theory as well as practical techniques and examples. Through the author's clear writing style, case examples, tables, and exercises, students develop a solid understanding of the theoretical models of career counseling and are thoroughly exposed to the practical information on how to effectively counsel clients about career issues. As demonstrated by the text's new subtitle, 'A Holistic Approach,' this substantially revised Seventh Edition reflects the growing emphasis on looking at the "whole person"--values, temperament, talents, and passions--to determine his or her best career fit.

Great Jobs for English Majors Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Even though this book is inexpensive, I wouldn't recommend purchasing it. The job ideas are not inspiring, and not really up to date either. It barely skims the surface of what someone can do with an English major and/or writing experience, and never steps outside of the basic areas that you've probably already thought of yourself. It also doesn't give you a single idea as to how to break into any of the few jobs it mentions, if you happen to be looking for that kind of advice as well. Purchase something a little weightier and a little more expensive, it'll be worth it. This isn't.

I'm an English Major Now What? Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I must say that I liked the concept of the book but I was really disappointed with the actual product. I think the format of the book was not very helpful and it didn't really feel as if he was guiding me. Also he spent the majority of the book talking about book, magazine, and newspaper professions and not enough time on the other careers listed in the book. He did focus on corporate jobs for English majors but somehow it felt disjointed to me. He briefly mentioned other careers like Public Relations and so forth but only briefly.

What do Joan Rivers, Steven Spielberg, Alan Alda, Barbara Walters, Clarence Thomas and Chris Isaak have in common? That's right - they were English majors who now have dream jobs. "I'm an English Major - Now What?" debunks the myth that English grads have to be teachers, editors or writers and provides: information on exciting career paths, including corporate communications, investment banking, graphic design, customer training, and more; strategies for showcasing skills taught in college to prospective employers; and information on how an English background can be very marketable. All this advice is given in the author's candid and humorous voice. English majors are unconventional, so why offer them a standard career guide? Instead give them this invaluable resource for landing a job they will love.
