(More customer reviews)As a professor having a doctorate in I/O Psychology, this is a very user-friendly book, perfect for sophomore/junior level college students interested in I/O Psych. I always recommend this book to students who want to know more about general graduate school issues and who are leaning towards I/O. I don't require students in my classes to purchase the book, but I do suggest that they buy it, especially since the price suits the typical college student.
One warning about the book, however, is that it includes a section on Human Factors which really is an entirely different field with its own various associations and journals separate from I/O. However, students are most likely not going to be introduced to the Human Factors field unless they research careers in I/O; therefore, its inclusion in the book is not a major issue for me.
