Advance praise for Grads: Take Charge

We're not the only ones who are excited about the upcoming release of Grads: Take Charge of Your Career, Your Money, Your Life...hear what others have been saying about it!

"Grads: Take Charge doesn't miss a beat! It includes everything a new college graduate needs to know when starting a career, and then some. It's the most comprehensive resource I've seen for getting started in the workplace.”

Megan Hendricks
Director, Employer Relations
University of South Florida College of Business

“As a counselor who has worked with undergrads and new grads for over 30 years, I welcome this comprehensive resource that will help young alumni succeed in their personal and professional lives. It is sure to become a well-thumbed reference throughout their first years after college.”

Carter Hunter Hopkins, Ph.D.

“As someone who just graduated college a couple years ago, the time period between graduation and the first year officially on your own can be a very scary and unknowing time if you aren’t prepared to tackle the many tasks such as finding a job, managing bills or living with your parents again. Grads: Take Charge is a great resource and contains many useful tips that I only wish I knew a couple years back. The book offers realistic information that will help during such a transitional time.”

Julie Ma
University of Oregon ‘07

“Life after college is filled with a lot of questions, many of which college grads don’t even know to ask. Grads: Take Charge has provided all of the answers, making this overwhelming adjustment a whole lot easier. This book is the encyclopedia of the real world and is an asset to every college grad who is about to navigate it. I spent a good year frustrated and crying after college; if only I’d had this book!”
