"Easy to read, practical advice in every important area" according to Corabeth. I bought this book for my daughter but since she was away this weekend, I read through it myself. I ended up writing three pages of bullets/notes! Some things I already knew and was going to suggest to her so it was nice to have validation but I learned a few new things myself. I would tell her to recommend this to all her friends in school but I think I'll wait until after she finds a job because the tips are so clearly spelled out that I think this book will be an advantage for her.I also appreciated the fact that she recommends the best way to use your parents as a resource.My favorite .
