Recommendation

Alexandra Levit shows people in their 20s how to thrive in the corporate world. She discusses how to get your first job, survive and thrive amid office politics, set goals, network, manage your time, advance your career and even become a boss. Levit offers excellent advice for those new to the work world. getAbstract recommends her comprehensive guidance and tactics to those who are trying to land their first professional position and to the HR professionals who hire them.

Take-Aways

  • Don’t take the first job you can get. Seek out something that really interests you.
  • Employers will check your social-media sites so maintain your “professional persona” both online and in person.
  • You “only have three seconds” to make a positive first impression.
