    A Necessary Resource!

    101 Tips for Graduates is a great read for recent graduates or anyone making a career change. Graduating from college in one of the worst economic times, I was doubtful about my job search. Susan's advice and experience gave me the confidence, preparation and edge I needed to stand out amongst other candidates. She knows the ins and outs of the interview process and the professional world, unmatched by any advisor or professor. I recommend Susan's books and insights as necessary resources before any interview or career endeavor.
