    I have been waiting for this edition to come out for over a year. Her last edition was great and her second is living up to my expectations.

    The author is thorough and she has produced the best and most up-to-date information/how-to book on social work that I know of, and I’ve done my homework. She has written the material to cover most of the possible employment scenarios that a SW could find their selves in and has provided links and/or resources to follow-up for more detail if necessary. She addresses licensure, certification, billing, education and the post education development of the social worker’s career. Resumes, cover letters, check-off lists, applications, interviews are topics covered in detail.

    Chapters are: 1. Setting a Direction for Your Search; 2. Researching Market and Salary Information; 3. Preparing Resumes, Curricula Vitae, Portfolios, and References; 4. Identifying Jobs and Pursuing Leads; 5. Interviewing Effectively; 6. Evaluating Job Offers; 7. Career Management and Professional Development. Detail subheadings are given in each chapter (ex: Ch.1 – Assessing Your Strengths, Deciding on Your Objectives, Making Transitions, Preparing Your Message, and Moving On). It is published by NASW, and Amazon has the best price at this time.

    Carol Doelling, thank you…..
