Reviews for So... You Want a Great Job When You Graduate
Written in a breezy, informal style that young people will relish...this teen survival manual is loaded with tips...although much about success has been written, previous volumes have not been written in this manner nor exclusively for this age group and not by such an enthusiastic writer.

College News
Although [the guides] do not spell out every detail, they provide direction for finding a great job after graduation. The fact that this Canadian author followed such a path and landed a job with The Coca-Cola Company and later Nestle USA adds considerable clout. Written conversationally and often interspersed with humor ... the student guide underscores that finding a great job is attainable not through perfect GPAs but through self discovery and goal setting.
