Overview

Forecast how jobs will change in the future and plan accordingly

Career Survival shows you how to identify the key elements of an individual's job now and in the future and how to set appropriate priorities.

Helps managers, employees, and human resource specialists answer such questions as:
* What does the job currently involve?
* How will the job itself change over the next few years?
