Occupational outlook handbook / U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics Reference HF5382 .U53 2004-05

The Occupational Outlook Handbook is a nationally recognized source of career information, designed to provide valuable assistance to    individuals making decisions about their future work lives. Revised every two years, the Handbook describes what workers do on the job, working conditions, the training and education needed, earnings, and expected job prospects in a wide range of occupations.

These resources from the Internet are a good way of tracking down current jobs, and in many ways have replaced the traditional technique of looking through the job listings in the newspaper. You can search locally, or expand your search to areas outside Eugene and Oregon. There are also some good online guides to resume and cover letter preparation.
