This book of professional advice about career preparation may be the best college graduation gift you'll receive.

Too many people end up working jobs they didn't study for. It's time you proactively prepare for post-graduate life.

Kyyah Abdul offers extensive job search tips and work advice, such as guidance on writing the perfect resume, excelling in job interviews, networking in-person and online, negotiating job salaries, paying off student loans, and more.

Rely on trusted guidance. Armed with first-hand experience with the lack of preparation universities provide their students, Kyyah set out to forge her own path for finding relevant work post-graduation. Her strategies helped her land jobs in several STEM positions both during and after college.
