Book Review-The Career Playbook: Essential Advice for Today's Aspiring Young Professional

As an avid reader of young professional books, I was not sure what to expect when picking this book up. This book, while targeted to young professionals, is a great read for all ages and can be easily read by business leaders. Saddled with college loan debt, the millennial generation does not have a lot going for us, but if we turn to advice from leaders like Sheryl Sandberg and the author James Citrin, we will be in good hands. This book is packed with information such as the different phases of career exploration and refining skills later in career to stay relevant. It also contains prompt advice such as how to (or not) negotiate a salary. As the author notes, it is possible to have a great career with a liberal arts major. We need to frame our resumes to our volunteer experiences and show how flexible we are by showing how an interest in philosophy can shape us as well-rounded decision makers in the real world. Best advice: play to your strengths and seek multiple mentors from various sectors and workplaces to help you achieve workplace success. 5/5 stars.
