History

Ferguson’s Career Guidance Center is a comprehensive resource that enables users to explore industries and careers, plan their education, and research best practices for résumés, cover letters, interviewing, networking, and salaries/benefits. The database includes articles, career advice blogs, and streaming video.

Available in both print and online, the Occupational Outlook Handbook is a great place to go for quick general information about current trends and major issues in a profession. The OOH provides profiles for hundreds of occupations including sections like What They Do, Work Environment, How to Become One, Pay, and more. Each profile also includes Bureau of Labor Statistics employment projections. Use the link above and look for the "Search OOH" box in the upper right corner.

The print copy of the Occupational Outlook Handbook is available in the College & Careers Reference Collection at: REF HF5382.5 .U5 2016
