Customer Reviews

Every graduate should read

Excellent content which is written in a down to earth, real-life style. I was somewhat turned off because of some editing errors at the beginning of the book but the content and knowledge that is imparted make this book a MUST READ by all young people entering the workforce. It is especially good for those who have little or no experience with corporations or the business world.

Succesful Career Management: Strategies Beyond Technical Preparation

Successful Career Management offers "real life" career advice for students, managers, executives and teachers in search of another opinion about management decisions and business affairs. A management and marketing instructor for undergraduate and graduate MBA students, I use this book as a companion for student use in simulation and scenario based projects. Robert Donald's advice should be separated from other "self help" management advice books, as the leadership and career advice could be applied by any level of management. I truly enjoyed reading the book myself and felt motivated immediately to put the strategies into action in my business. I always advise my students to read at least five books which I consider key for success: Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, You are the Message by Roger Ailes, Control Your Own Destiny or Someone Else Will by Jack Welch, In Search of Excellence by Tom Peters and Successful Career Management by Robert Donald. Donald's book encourages the reader to explore their own strengths and weaknesses and prompts them to recognize the real corporate world. Most of us are curious abut what our strengths might be, and with this book self examination shouldn't be a difficult process. You will be able to use Mr. Donald's advice to control specific situations and develop an individualized career action plan. A Great Read!!!

Successful Career Management

Excellent book! Not just a good read but a great source for information. This book is the best college graduation gift other than money. It would be the perfect reference book for those starting their careers, or like myself in mid-career look for an edge as well as for those getting ready for retirement and looking to start their own business. Great tips for performance reviews, career planning & personal branding just to name a few. I had some great mentors in my 15 year career in corporate America; Mr. Donald does a great job of summarizing some of their advice and adding many more. The personal insights and lesson learned are priceless. This book has turned out to be a sound investment for my future and the future of my family. I would recommend this book to anyone seeking excellence in their careers and/or personal endeavors.
