Written both for the college-educated housewife who, through reading and community work, has kept her mind alert and who now seeks challenging employment suitable to her education, and for the employer who is seeking dedicated, enthusiastic personnel with growth potential, the book encourages adoption of new employment patterns of flexible work scheduling emphasizing the work to be done rather than the hours to be filled. The book instructs women in analyzing their strengths and potential, examines the realities of working, explains the importance of a professional attitude; it helps women assess the job market in terms of interests and abilities and to select the appropriate career; and it offers practical advice on finding and securing a specific job. A guide to 52 occupations from accountant actuary, and advertiser to urban planner, vocational counselor, and writer comprises more than half the book. Each of the occupations is described, and training and experience requirements listed; earnings, manpower needs, and special aptitudes are discussed; the part-time possibilities are explored, an address is given for additional information, as well as titles of recommended reading material.
