Why read it?

1 author picked Career Forward as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Career Forward is a book I wish had been available 40-plus years ago when I was graduating high school and forging my way through college. Because of this, Career Forward became my most gifted graduation present to high school and college graduates of 2024. Although the book is written by women and highlights "Strategies from Women who've Made It," I didn't leave graduating men out. They received the book too! Both authors know their stuff and generously share their experiences in an accessible, engaging way. I loved the exercises at the end of each chapter.
