    Alternate Title: How to Succeed in a Digital World
    Format: Paperback
    It would be difficult to find a book with more career tips than this volume. Lindsey Pollak (by the way, a great speaker at any event that addresses Millennials in the business world) nails it with hundreds (no exaggeration) of tips and pieces of advice that are practical for people of any age. Whether you're looking for your first professional job, searching for a new opportunity or just wanting to increase your professional visibility, Lindsey offers a wide variety of ways that you can achieve your objectives. This book is especially important for mid-career professionals who weren't raised in the technology era. There's so much to learn about marketing to Millennials, seeking employment from Millennials and interacting professionally with Millennials. Lindsey provides a roadmap that each reader can view and choose the appropriate path to success.

    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.

    Career Coach Recommended!
    Format: Paperback
    As a Career Coach, I find this book to be a great resource for college students and recent grads who are interested in preparing for a rewarding career after graduation. Lindsey Pollack is both knowledgeable and encouraging, and presents multiple strategies for students to be career-ready in today's competitive job market. A few topics include interview preparation, networking, service events, and blogging. A great read for the millennial student or job seeker, regardless of whether they have identified their career path or not.

    This is by far the most helpful book I have actually enjoyed reading for school
    Format: Paperback
    I had to purchase this book for my pre-professional seminar class. This is by far the most helpful book I have actually enjoyed reading for school. This book covers a wide range of topics and is very specific on the steps take to to reach your career goals. As a student who is undeclared I found this book very valuable. I also like the style of writing, the author talks to you like a friend.
