Job Smarts for Twentysomethings
Here is some good advice to all recent and upcoming high school grads, as well as college-age students eager to begin their career: Buy this book! Richardson has done a remarkable job of distilling all the practical advice in countless other job, career, resume, or "find your true love" guides into a highly useful reference tailored especially for this age group. All the buttons are pushed here, from goal setting, networking, and skill inventory to searching for a job, interviewing, resume writing, and information sources. What sets this excellent work apart is the author's keen insight into his targeted age group and especially his sagacious, no-holds-barred advice for this group to turn off the TV and start reading about the rapidly changing world they are beginning to compete in. At his ripe young age of 28, Richardson has turned his job search smarts into a successful company, which lends credibility to his advice. Strongly recommended for all libraries.?Dale Farris, Groves, Tex.Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.
