(PRWEB) March 9 2004--With only modest growth predicted for the 2004 job market, job seekers need the best information available on the current state of the most popular industries, careers, and companies. With Insider Guides aimed at current college students, recent graduates, MBA candidates and midcareer professionals, WetFeet provides the research so critical to landing a plum position in today’s lukewarm hiring climate.

With more than 8 million Americans looking for work (as of January 2004, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics), a successful job-hunt requires much more than a top education and a willingness to work hard. The best candidates also boast a sophisticated combination of communication, networking, negotiating and interviewing skills. Most recent and upcoming graduates find that a college education has ill prepared them for the job search. For those just setting out or looking to hone their skill set, WetFeet publishes books to address every stage of the job search: Job Hunting A to Z, Killer Cover Letters and Resumes!, Networking Works!, Ace Your Interview!, Negotiating Your Salary and Perks.

Even those who’ve mastered the skills required to land a job struggle to identify the career that suits them best. For each of its 17 industry insider guides, WetFeet’s career experts talk to dozens of insiders working in the industry to bring readers the unvarnished truth. Jobseekers can turn to WetFeet’s exhaustive research to learn about the opportunities available, the hiring outlook, industry trends and rankings, compensation packages, workplace intangibles, the best path to success, the companies to target and more. WetFeet offers Insider Guides on careers in Accounting, Advertising and Public Relations, Asset Management and Retail Brokerage, Biotech and Pharmaceuticals, Brand Management, Entertainment and Sports, Financial Services, Human Resources, Information Technology, Investment Banking, Management Consulting, Manufacturing, Marketing and Market Research, Non-Profits and Government Agencies, Real Estate, Supply Chain Management and Venture Capital.

Management consulting and investment banking candidates can augment their research with WetFeet’s company guides. Each company Insider Guide draws on the expertise of company insiders and recruiters to provide an in-depth profile of the subject company, outline typical roles and responsibilities in the organization, make an honest assessment of the workplace (the good and the bad) and find the best tips for getting a foot in the door. WetFeet’s 2004 list includes Insider Guides for Accenture, Bain & Co., Booz Allen Hamilton, The Boston Consulting Group, Citigroup’s Corporate and Investment Bank, Deloitte Consulting, the Goldman Sachs Group, JPMorgan Chase, Lehman Brothers, McKinsey & Co., Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley.
