2000, Career Press, ISBN 1564144224
An interesting publication identifying current and up and coming career areas. Copeland analyzes demographic and economic trends, industry patterns, and discusses the impact of computers and globalization. Each section ends with job profiles formatted as an interview with individual professions. These interviews are interesting both for the responses and also serve as a good guide for the reader’s own information gathering interviews. Canadian readers can use this book as a basic overview but some information will not be completely accurate in the Canadian context, particularly in areas such as health care and social services. Nevertheless, the book raises awareness and helps the reader focus on what needs to be considered in making effective career choices. Useful tips on how to approach the career search are found at the beginning of the book as well as in each section with ideas particular to the specialty.
