Book Giveaway: They Don’t Teach Corporate in College

  • 0 min read

My good friend and fellow career expert and spokeswoman, Alexandra Levit, has released a revised edition to her book, They Don’t Teach Corporate in College, which is a mandatory book for any college student who has fears of graduating and stepping into a real “business” world environment.  Most students that enter the workforce are unprepared and always complain, saying “I wish I knew this back in college.”  This book, along with my new book, Me 2.0, both have the tools and advice college students need in order to obtain their dream job upon graduation and survive in the workplace.  Today we’re giving away free copies of Alexandra’s new book!

Book description

They Don’t Teach Corporate in College has resonated with tens of thousands of readers and is currently used as a text in corporations and universities across the country. The new and updated edition reflects the unique needs and challenges of current twenty-somethings, who are ambitious and empowered and want to get ahead yesterday, but lack the know-how and finesse to make it happen. It incorporates fresh tips for effectively managing your online presence, practicing the art of “intrapreneurship,” and planning your next move inside or outside Corporate America.

Sleep science says the pilot who nodded off for 28 minutes at cruising altitude wasn’t being careless — he was legally “rested” by every rule on the books, and fell asleep anyway, because duty-time regulations count hours off, not hours actually spent recovering
