Press Kit / About the Book

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the question, “What do I want to do with my life?” this book is for you. If you have no idea what you want to be when you “grow-up”, you need to read this book. Until now, books for college graduates have generally fallen into three categories: how to write a resume, interview techniques, and general advice. Grad to Great (Dalidaze Press, 2007) is different.

First, Grad to Great teaches you how to transform your unique experiences and insights into the transferable skills that make you instantly qualified for the career of your dreams. Next, job search tips from Career Counselors, Recruiters, and successful Executives show you how to win those jobs faster than your peers. Finally, a crash course in networking will have you making important contacts in no time. In Grad to Great, you'll also discover how to:

Take charge of your professional life
Deal with difficult people
Appreciate criticism and use it to your advantage
Get people in power to listen to you
Avoid the ten mistakes that hold you back at work

As an HR manager I can tell you the chapter on how to answer interview questions is worth the price of the entire book. But on top of that you get guidance on career paths, office etiquette, dealing with difficult bosses and even 12 sure fire career success tips. The book is long enough to cover the bases but not so long that it is full of fluff and filler nonsense. I loved this book and look forward to many more from the authors.
