This guide to careers offers high quality advice on generic career areas in addition to specific jobs, and to identify career paths within those areas. The Guardian's pre-eminence in this area is well established, and this book is pitched to capitalise on that position. While other careers guides offer a dictionary approach, Graham Wade has recognised that graduates have an idea of the broad area in which they would like to work, but little knowledge of what career to follow within that area. This book is therefore broken down into generic sections - the law, medicine, the media - which show how each is structured, describe the required skills and qualifications, give details of specific jobs and possible paths between them, and provide details of graduate intake and salaries. The author has also interviewed people in these careers to offer readers an inside picture of what a given working day is really like. Fully comprehensive and rich in hard facts, this is also the first guide which should genuinely help graduates to make a decision about what career to enter, how to do so, and how to structure a rewarding career path.
