101 Tips For Graduates: A Code Of Conduct For Success And Happiness In Your Professional Life (Paperback)

~ (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 10 Up–According to her introduction, the author seeks to put down in writing the implied code of conduct by which people are all expected to live. Her purpose in doing so is to give recent high school or college graduates a concrete list of criteria to which they can refer so that they may meet or exceed the usually unspoken expectations of adulthood. This is an admirable goal, and one that the author meets well with tips on every subject from proofreading every document to following one's heart. The breadth of subject, however, is the downfall of this book. The focus is far too broad to allow it to be read cover to cover, but the chances of someone new to the workforce turning to a reference book in times of confusion are slim.–Morgan Johnson-Doyle, Sierra High School Library, Colorado Springs, CO

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Graduation Gift, June 25, 2008

We gave this book to several grads whom I am not sure really appreciated the value of information in the book just yet, but once they sit down and look through it, will find alot of useful information. This book is helpful for those out of school as well, AND a good refresher course for those having to look for a new job.
