"I needed this book sooner - perhaps when I was just out of high school or for my own kids and their first jobs! Practical advice in an area that isn't addressed. There are lots of books on how to be successful in your career or as a manager or leader, but you have to take that FIRST STEP and this book covers that first move so well with practical advice and guidance."

Master Your First Job provides readers an opportunity to take hold and own something most people feel is simply a box to check in life: a first job.
