From College Girl to Working Woman.
Cowan, Susan
Written for the woman just graduated from college who wants a big-city job, the book provides coverage of the job scene from New York to San Francisco and offers methods and suggestions on how to create an exciting new career. Tips on where to look for jobs, the resume, and the job interview are some of the introductory topics, followed by a discussion of 29 college majors and their job possibilities. One chapter covers secretarial jobs (lowlevel clerical jobs, office manager, Girl Friday, executive, bilingual, medical, legal, technical, and social secretaries). Other possibilities are those in the business field (accounting, banking, finance, insurance, market research, and personnel administration), and in buying and selling (retailing, insurance agent/broker, real estate, and garment manufacturing showroom girl). Another chapter covers glamor jobs such as: airline jobs, fashion, interior designer, interpreter and translator, and travel agent. Careers in the word business (Newspaper reporter, book publishing, magazines, advertising, public relations, and technical writer) are other big business avenues for the prospective employee. A miscellaneous chapter covers a repertoire of jobs available to almost all majors. The concluding chapter promotes the lure and opportunities of money, culture, men, and living in the big city. (EA)
