Pretty good February 23, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This book is amazing. It's such a great resource for social workers. Doelling tells you step.by.step about the interviewing and writing of the resume process. By breaking it down and giving a lot of resources, she makes it comprhendable and less intimidating. This book is good for social workers who work in a variety of capacities, not just direct service. I am a policy practitioner and this book has resources for me too!

Great resource for career exploration & job hunting February 7, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I read this book while exploring career opportunities in psychology and social work. This book has lots of useful information about different jobs, the education required, salaries, and help with resumes and interviews. I found it full of useful points, and the list of suggested actions to list on your resume, based on the sort of job you're seeking, was especially useful. One thing I didn't like was the organization of the book - appendices were overused and broke up the flow, but that may have been fixed in more recent editions.

The best book on the Social Worker's Career September 5, 2005
9 out of 9 found this review helpful

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.....
