A Must Read!

Wow! This book kept me turning the pages. Mr. McGovern shares his life experiences with his readers with eloquence and style. It's well organized and yet, easy to read. The book is written from Mr. McGovern's heart as he shares his real life experiences as a career expert. Not just another business book! I'm planning on giving one to each of my friends.

great career resource

I found this book to be compelling in getting my career in high gear. Being a type "A" personality, I certainly want to bring an "A" game to everything I do. This book helped me do just that!

Great info--an easy read

I read this book at the suggestion of a friend. The author has a great style. It's easy to read, and full of practical advice. I really liked the chapter on becoming more coachable. I'm going to habdle conversations with my boss much differently now. I also read What Color is Your Parachute. This one is more focused on being great at your present job as opposed for searching for a new job.

A Must Read for GenXers

If you want another how-to write a resume book this is not for you. "Bring Your 'A' Game" is a valuable, quick read book that shares the top career secrets of successful business leaders. The top 10 secrets are great for a yellow-sticky reminder! (Old school, I know, but it works.) Aside for being a nice reminder for me, I'm suggesting the book to my friends with kids in college or who are just getting their careers off the ground.

Outstanding!

Great Book from start to finish. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to achieve great things. Well written, easily understandable, and a great page-turner.
