Getting from College to Career

Wednesday May 14, 2008
If you're a college senior or recent grad who is starting to panic because you haven't done anything about finding a job yet (and don't worry, you're definitely not alone) or an undergrad who wants to get ahead, spend some time reading Getting from College to Career. It will be well worth it.

The book is full of practical advice on how to discover what you want to do, transitioning from college to career, who to network with, how to communicate professionally, and the best ways to get ahead of the crowd when you're job searching. There is also good advice on how to use the skills you might not even know you have to your advantage, along with information on what to do when you're stuck, as author Lindsey Pollak was when she returned home from graduate school in Australia.
