From Graduation To Corporation: The Practical Guide To Climbing The Corporate Ladder One Rung At A Time by corporate veteran Andy Teach

The second edition of From Graduation To Corporation (rated 5 stars ***** on amazon.com) is a comprehensive guide to success in the corporate world 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.

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 twenty-three years, Andy Teach found himself on the unemployment line. Find out what he did right and what he did wrong so you can climb up to the top rungs of the corporate ladder . . . and stay there!


From Graduation To Corporation answers several key questions from college students and recent graduates:

• Which resumes are the most likely and least likely to get you an interview?
• How do you shine during the interview process and get the job you want?
• How do you overcome the generation gap at work?
