Reviews
An expectation lingers that the psychic rewards of working for a nonprofit organization will compensate its workers for a necessarily reduced income. In this guide, the author (Conrad N. Hilton Foundation) examines many such myths, comparing the pluses and minuses of NPO employment with similar jobs in business and government. His examples are well chosen and specifically identified. The checklist for job hunters is an excellent one, suitable for most types of employment search. Even-handed and realistic, this guide is recommended for public libraries and would be a useful purchase for many NPOs. Barbara Carow, Morrill Memorial Lib., Norwood, Mass.
