Not Your Parents' Workplace
Young people are walking into a turbulent and ever-changing business environment. I learned this firsthand. Within a few months of graduating college, my company went bankrupt and I lost my job. For months I struggled to find work.
Not Your Parents’ Workplace shares an intimate account of the highs and lows I’ve experienced as a young professional. But more importantly, it teaches lessons that will help career starters find their dream job and be successful. These lessons include:
- How to network and build lasting professional relationships (Chapters 1, 5, 10)
- How to prep for interviews, including how to tell your story (Chapter 2)
- How to make the most of your internship (Chapters 2, 3)
- Deciding whether to quit your job (Chapter 6)
- Whether you should pursue an MBA or other graduate programs (Chapter 9)
- How to develop a professional competitive advantage (Chapter 9)
The stories and lessons shared in this book will help you learn how to take charge of your career and find success in the new business world.
