Nolan relates how students, recent graduates, and beginning professionals can acquire and use the skills essential for work as a practitioner. A key feature of his book is its comprehensive focus: he systematically moves from preparation, to finding one's first job, to career survival and management. The book concludes with a detailed discussion of how to turn a career in practice into a solid contribution to both the profession and the discipline. The result is an important reference for current practitioners—and a must-have handbook for beginning anthropologists.
"Refreshingly hard-headed and clear of cant.... Outlines a systematic approach to getting a job as a practitioner anthropologist, emphasizing that preparation is all.... This useful book will be of interest to professionals and students alike: to academic anthropologists, practitioner anthropologists, their graduate and undergraduate students."—Margaret Taylor, Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute
"All students of anthropology can benefit enormously from this hands-on guide to practice. Especially well-written, it provides a superb template for successfully applying anthropological knowledge."—Sandy Ervin, University of Saskatchewan
