"Based on contemporary research and literature, Career Development in Recreation, Parks, and Tourism: A Positioning Approach offers a step-by-step plan to prepare students for the next step in their preprofessional and professional careers." "The book includes individual and group exercises to help students better understand each step in the positioning approach, as well as sample resumes, letters, and e-mails. It also features stories from students and professionals who describe how they used the positioning approach to reach their career goals. Throughout the text, the author provides examples, tools, and tips from his years of experience helping students use the positioning strategy. He also offers techniques for succeeding in more traditional job searches, including preparing for the formal job interview."--BOOK JACKET
