• VIDEO: Anthropologists at Work: Careers Making a Difference We Own This Video!  It is about jobs in Applied Anthropology, is available in the Department Chair's Office, and will be shown in class.  There are answers to student questions about careers in anthropology that the video addresses, which is available here: Anthropologists at Work: Responses to Student Questions About Anthropology Careers.

• VIDEO: Another Video about careers available to undergraduate Anthropology Majors is Corporate Careers for Humanities Graduates which is available in the Longwood Library.  The tape is a series of interviews with recent college graduates talking about how they found their degrees useful in their positions in government, business, and industry, and interviews with employers talking about what they look for in prospective employees with college humanities degrees.  One of the graduates interviewed was an Anthropology Major.
