Customer Reviews

Highly Recommended

This book didn't have a bunch of filler words or stories simply to make it long, it was straight to the point and was very useful. Each chapter left you with something to think about and the people that wrote it really knew what they were talking about!

Every fresh graduate should read this book

Its a simply written book, very concise and without any hype. I bought it because I felt I am not really able to gauge what is expected of me in the job and just 2 weeks into my dream job I started complaining. I wish I had read this book before starting. Or even better, before I went for job interviews!! After reading this book I realised what mistakes I made during some of my job interviews. This is the first review I have ever written for any book.

Very good book
