Reseña del editor:

Extensively revised and updated, "Career Discovery Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition" covers a wide spectrum of careers for students who are just beginning to think about their future. For the sixth edition, each of the more than 700 careers profiled in the previous edition has been updated according to the latest information. More than 50 new job articles have been added, covering airport security personnel, copy editors, food photographers, geriatric psychiatrists, yoga and Pilates instructors, and more. This revised edition includes several important new features that align the careers to U.S. government career standards. Volume 1 provides descriptions of the U.S. Department of Education's 16 Career Clusters, and a Career Cluster icon in each job article enables students to read about jobs in the clusters that interest them. Each article also contains a new Skills Spotlight sidebar, which identifies key skills and competencies for each job as outlined in the U.S. Department of Labor's SCANS report. Volume 1 also features a new section about self-assessment testing, which includes an A-to-Z overview of the most popular tests, as well as a sample test based on the O*NET Work Interest Profiler. Highlights include: 656 up-to-date career articles; 57 new career articles; new Skills Spotlight sidebars that tie each career to the U.S. Department of Labor's SCANS skills and competencies; new coverage of U.S. Department of Education's Career Clusters; new coverage of career assessment tests; more than 650 black-and-white photographs, more than 125 new to this edition; and, up-to-date glossary and government classification indexes.
