Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best nonfiction books of all time 'I cannot remember when I was not fascinated by Henry Adams, ' said Gore Vidal.

Great and easy to follow tips
Format: Paperback
Lindsey Pollak breaks it down for you! Her tips are mostly great, found some that I wasn't even aware of. I also enjoyed the fact that she starts by telling us her own story and how her career built up over time by taking action. The author also provides great insights from many other industry leaders. I would definitely recommend this book to us young and restless grads!

Great book!
Format: Paperback
This book is a great complement to my book "The Secret To Getting A Job After College". While I cover the details about resumes and cover letters, this book does a very effective job addressing issues related to determining what you should think about doing after college and the author also has a valuable section on how to prepare your elevator speech. I recommend it for everyone who is in college or has graduated in the past few years and I now consider it required reading for many of my students.
