themselves with three things
when entering the professional
world: a new suit, a brief case,
and Kelly Tyler's book
Secrets of Seasoned Professionals.
This is an excellent guide for new
professionals, as well as a tool
managers can use with young
hires on expectations that aren't
generally discussed
but can have a tremendous impact
on a career."

"Instead of giving the gift of a card with a check for college graduation, put the check inside the cover of "Secrets of Seasoned Professionals"
and hand it over. 22-year-olds don't care about cards, anyway, and this has considerably higher utility.
The major topics covered in "Secrets of Seasoned Professionals" are your appearance, business etiquette, workplace behavior, culture, and
technology, written and verbal communication, business travel, and managing mistakes. A large portion of the content of may strike you as
common sense, but not to the extent that you already knew it; rather, that it just makes sense, and, consequently, you will remember it.
I have read "Secrets of Seasoned Professionals" in its entirety a few times, and I still occasionally pick it up the night before starting a project
at a new client in order to put me in the right frame of mind with regard to body language and communication. It's a quick read, but it's to the
point and touches on just about everything young professionals need to know when they're starting their first real jobs."
