SAGE Guide to Social Work Careers Reviews

This is a very exciting text. The author shares her enthusiasm for policy advocacy and gives many practical examples of how to make a career in this field

I like this book because of the stories and the layout. It is a nice balance of theory and practice. I find the book to be 'friendly' for first and second year students.
