Last year, I started working with technical students. I bought The Google Resume: How to Prepare for a Career and Land a Job at Apple, Microsoft, Google, or Any Top Tech Company in order to better understand my students and some of the issues in which they were facing. While I flipped through part of it last year, this week, I read it cover-to-cover. In all it is a good book. It has basic advice on how to be successful at any entry-level job. The career advice is not earth shattering as long as you accept that a very important job search tip is to complete research a company.
While this book is not for everyone, it serves its defined purpose: to help you succeed in working with technical companies. It had great advice and great resources.

If this falls into your career path, check it out. It is a good fast read!
Happy Reading! August Books coming up!
