Synopsis

The Printed Access Card, which can be included with student texts, provides information and a code that gives students full access to the Careers in Criminal Justice Website. This rich resource helps students investigate the criminal justice career choices that are right for them. They can take advantage of interest assessments, career profiles, video interviews, and a career Rolodex with links and tools to assist them in finding a professional position. There's also a career planner with sample resumes, letters, and interview questions, and a wealth of information on "soft skills" such as health and fitness, stress management, and effective communication.
