More About This Book

Overview

The second edition (2011) of the popular career advice book, From Graduation To Corporation, is a comprehensive guide to success in the workplace and is specifically tailored to college students and recent college graduates. It is an invitation to the "Millennials" (Generation Y) to go inside the head of a corporate veteran. By examining the thought processes of a senior executive and learning from his experiences, recent college graduates can be better prepared to narrow the gap between their expectations and the expectations of their supervisors.

This edition contains additional information on job search websites, social networking websites, college career centers, career fairs, dining etiquette, and the different generations in the workplace. Other key areas to career success include tips on resumes/cover letters, networking, interviewing, dealing with difficult people, dating at work, how to act in meetings, dress codes, how to stay organized, how to ask for a promotion/raise, Internet/email/telephone etiquette, and Andy's 73 "Corporate Commandments."

What makes this book unique is that the author not only gives us his refreshingly honest account of his climb up the corporate ladder, but also discusses his fall from the top rungs. After working for the same two bosses in the same department of a major television and motion picture studio for over twenty years, Andy Teach found himself on the unemployment line. Find out what he did right and what he did wrong so that you can reach the top rungs of the corporate ladder . . . and stay there!

    The Corporate Veteran and Change

    From the perspective of a Corporate Veteran, especially in the Aerospace and Defense Industry, Mr. Teach's book hits the nail right on the head when it comes to the constant challenges that occur during the climb, how to manage them, and how to best learn from and look to the next change as an opportunity for growth. It is candid, brutally honest, informative, and "reassuring", especially with the ever changing job market uncertainty...and many of us who leave as Veterans in one position (due to layoffs, reorganizations, etc.) to the challenge of the climb again. This book is not a "one time read", but a great reference tool to have handy in the home and office.

    Andy Teach Helps Bridge the Gap from School to Office

    Andy Teach nails it with this insightful look by an insider into the convoluted world of the American corporation. A daunting subject for new grads, but Andy breaks it down into the essential components in ways no other book has ever dared. A must read if you wish to be the man in teh gray flannel suit--or the next entrepreneur creating the next big thing. Andy is also one great interviewee; his responses to questions on my nationally broadcast radio show were second to none.

    Definitely a "Must Read" for College Graduates

    From Graduation to Corporation by Andy Teach offers advice that only someone who has climbed the corporate ladder to success could provide. I was impressed, not only by the array of subjects covered, but by the honesty of the author when he listed a summary of thirty-two things he did right and seventeen things he did wrong so that readers could learn from both lists. His exit from a major television and motion picture studio in Los Angeles, California was premature and not something he wanted. He had worked in the same department for twenty-three years and was proud of his accomplishments and the opportunities he had been given. Though he had had several jobs after college, only the last one did he considered a career. He was a perfectionist who, among other things, had to make sacrifices, learn to handle stress, and deal with the never-ending hard work; however, he believed the rewards far outweighed the negatives. It wasn't just the material things he enjoyed, but he was passionate about making a difference-being the best that he could be. I must emphasize that Mr. Teach did not consult experts as resources for this book, but wrote it only from his own personal knowledge and insight. The author covers fifteen rungs (or chapters) leading to the top of the corporate ladder, and readers would be well advised not to skip a rung or they could eventually fall. The purpose of this book is to prevent this from happening.

    This book is all-encompassing with each page yielding vital information. As I climbed the ladder with the author, I recognized, rung by rung, the importance of the book being autobiographical in nature. Through Mr. Teach's experiences, readers will learn more about climbing the corporate ladder to success than they would in a classroom. If readers follow the seventy-two "Corporate Commandments" which appear toward the end of the book, they will be on their way to winning the "Super Bowl" in the corporate world.

    I recommend this book as a "must read" for college graduates as well as those who have been climbing the rungs of the ladder to success but not yet made it to the top. Mr. Teach wants them to avoid the mistakes that interrupted his own successful and exciting career.

    Great Book!

    I found this book to be very helpful. It has lots of great career advice. I really liked the way the author talked about the things he did wrong as well as the things he did right. Remember nobody is perfect! Wish me luck in my future.

    Must read for anyone attending college and for managers wanting to rise to the top.

    I like how the author takes a brutally honest look at his journey from starting out in the workplace upon graduating college to successfully climbing the corporate ladder, only to fall off at the end of a long illustrious career. He gives many examples of do's and dont's of what you should and should not do during your ascent to the top. His real life candid stories will help prepare you to find your way through the often difficult corporate maze which is something you just can't find in any textbook. His stories are informational, humorous, and poignant, but most importantly, the book will help prepare you to make the difficult climb up the ladder and help you stay there throughout your career.
