"Have No Career Fear is an upbeat, fun book for new or soon to be graduates just starting out in the working world. It doesn’t take itself too seriously, and is a much-needed (and useful) tonic for the stresses of job hunting..."

--Pat Rose,
Director of UPenn Career Services


"The writing style and tone of the book is wonderful and couldn’t be pulled off by someone my age. It’s clear that the authors are peers to the reader, which really helps their credibility. I love the slang, the humor, and the way the book is organized. Overall, I love it!"

--Julie Jansen,
Career coach and author of: I Don’t Know What I Want, but I Know It’s Not This: A Step-By-Step Guide to Finding Gratifying Work


Figuring out what career path to follow after college and finding a job that is interesting and pays the bills is no easy task. We know because we’ve all been through the post-college career maze and learned our lessons the hard way. And that’s why we wrote this book – to share with you what worked for us and hundreds of recent grads and successful professionals we interviewed for this book.

We cover every topic you should know about, including how to think about your career, become an ace at networking, impress your intimidating interviewers, negotiate job offers, succeed at your first few jobs, handle difficult work situations, deal with being fired (it happens to everyone!), and much, much more. Check it out – and start by reading a few articles we’ve included below.
