Wiley recently published my second book, To University and Beyond: Launch Your Career in High Gear. I hope you’ll get your own copy!
Here’s a video summary:
People seem to like it:
“This book delivers a roadmap for students looking to maximize their investment in higher education, offering the tools necessary to stand out among the crowds of eager, young professionals.”

“After reading this book, students will know not only what it means to be in the driver’s seat of their education and professional careers, but also what it looks like to play an active role in their own success.”

“To University and Beyond is the book that I wish I’d had as I was entering college and then embarking upon my own career. While there are elements of inspiration in it, the book stands out for its practical, actionable advice. In an increasingly competitive world, The University and Beyond will show you how to stand out as you embark upon your career, and it does so in a practical, actionable way. How I wish every newly minted college graduate I ever hired would have read The University and Beyond and done what Mandee and David recommend! This is by far the most practical guide to help you find early career success.”
