Getting from College to Career Third Edition

Lindsey Pollak · 2024
82/100
👍 Worth It

Lindsey Pollak's third edition is the rare career guide that actually did the work of updating itself — Gen Z communication norms, AI job-search tools, and virtual interviewing are all here, not tacked on as an afterthought. The ninety concrete steps give readers something to actually do rather than just think about. A reliable, practical first stop for any new grad trying to figure out where to begin.
