This is the ultimate collection of useful advice on everything from creating an effective job campaign to planning financially for the future. NEXT STEP is an inside source on the real world, everything from dealing with cube-life at work to staying out of credit card trouble. I highly recommend this book to anyone starting out in the real world, it can help any young professional get a great job, keep a balanced life and get ahead.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best post college job hunting guide I have ever read., August 23, 2006
By 
This review is from: Next Step The Real World (Paperback)
As an HR Manager I often run into recent college grads trying to land their first real career. After reading Jack O'Brien's book I became convinced that if anyone really follows his advice they couldn't help but land a good job quickly.

Jack's advice is based on his success principles learned in his years in business. Simply stated, it takes more than just posting your resume on the Internet to get a good job these days. It takes planning, tenacity, creativity and a lot of good networking. This book gives you a no-nonsense plan on seeking out that first career and then gives you the added bonus of sharing tips on setting up your life after college.

While some of the technology mentioned is a bit out of date it does nothing to detract from the books overall message: Success in life after college is up to you and you alone. Pay close attention to his tips on interviewing, planning your week, follow up letters and post college finances.

If you do what he says you will be able to start your new life on the right foot.

This review is from: Next Step The Real World (Paperback)
I bought a copy of this book for each of my children, and I read it myself when I was challenged with finding a position in a new career field. This book contained good solid advice for all three of us.
