Job Descriptions and Skills

A great resource guide from the government (can you believe that???) is the Occupational Outlook Handbook. You can find it on line at http://www.bls.gov/oco/ and you can look up the skills, training and licensing required for thousands of jobs. It would be really handy in the 'self assessment' phase of your job search where you are trying to find what the best job for you really is.
