A Must for Women in Business!.......2000-04-13

This book was worth every dollar. It is well written and extremely interesting. It tells the stories of women who have successfully made it in their fields of business. It explains their real life stories of how they got there and funny or frustrating things that happened along the way. The book also gives insight into how to handle difficult situations as a woman in power. It is a fast read. Informative and easy to understand. It is a very valueable book to read.

Faux for DOH!.......2004-01-04

If you are someone who isn't looking to necesarily start your own business, but rather, have a hobby you charge for on the side then this book is right for you. It won't, however, give insight on how to conduct yourself in a professional business manner, how to deal with clients, what business practices are necesary with regards to paperwork, etc., or how to go about advertising successfully.

Faux For Dough.......2003-12-27

I thought the book was definitely not geared for a professional faux finisher. It was way too general in nature to really help someone start a faux finishing business. It needs more specific information on business aspects. Most of the information given in the book was just common sense & did not warrant the purchase of this book. There are other books on the market that do a much better job of giving one the in depth information needed to start their own painting business. This book was, sadly, a big disappointment.

Skims the Surface.......2003-06-06

I felt the book touched on the basics but never really gave me anything to start my own business. Many of the pages were filled with large photograhphs instead of in-depth knowledge. I was hoping for a book that would tell it all so that I could go out and begin a faux painting business...with confidence. Not impressed.

Somewhat helpful.......2007-01-10

This book, while offering good advice for career paths in general, is not very useful for the Anthropology student. As a graduate of Anthropology I have been working for the last year in a job completely unrelated to my major. I am constantly searching for work and even internships or volunteer opportunities in Anthropology. Because I am having trouble finding work like this, I decided to buy this book. The only resources that they mentioned are things that I have already tried (such as the AAA website). While this book is good for most careers, it is not specific enough to help anyone in Anthropology when looking for a job in the field.

A Must Have for Anthropologists.......2000-05-31

Great Jobs for Anthropology Majors is a 'must-have' for those in Anthropology. This book covers a lot of ground concerning direction in such a vast field. It opens options outside of teaching and field work, as well as helping you improve your part in the applying/hiring process. As a graduate of an Anthropology program myself, I found little help in finding what I wanted to do with my education and how to do it. This book answered many of those questions and gave me some direction in the use of my education. Although it would've been more helpfull when I was in college, it still helped me tremendously as a graduate. I highly recommend this book for those in Anthropology.
