Publisher's summary

64 percent of women don't feel prepared for their careers. Sure, colleges may teach you many skills and content you need to succeed. But college doesn't teach you everything about a career. Do you want to be part of the 36 percent of women with the knowledge and skills they need to start their careers with confidence? Then keep listening.

Whether you're about to graduate, just graduated, or a few years into your career, you have probably felt unprepared, overwhelmed, apprehensive, or just a bit nervous about your job. And with good reason! Starting your career brings a slew of paperwork, drug screenings, sexism, and "adulting" decisions you've never had to make before.

No matter how you're feeling, Nicole Neff has been there too. When Nicole, an engineering graduate from a top research university, started her first job out of college, she was surprised by all the 'unknowns' that come with starting a career. Like many other women, Nicole felt unprepared for her first job, despite internships, international research publications, and plenty of class projects.

After researching for hours, asking tons of questions, and being in her new job for a year, the author began to decode all the "unknowns" that can stump you at the start of your career.

But it doesn't have to be this way! You don't have to spend all your time researching, asking questions, and preparing for your new job to start a successful career. Everything you need is in one place. In the book, Nicole shares all the knowledge, skills, and techniques college should have taught you about starting a successful career.

In this book, you will discover:

• The key to passing your job screening and accepting the job offer.
• Expectations your employer has for you on your first day of work that they probably aren't telling you.
• Critical budgeting skills to help you spend and save your money correctly. Plus, a powerful investing tool so you can prepare for retirement.
• Tax season preparation so you can avoid the common pitfalls many people make when filing their taxes.
• Essential industry jargon to help you select health insurance and save money on your medical expenses.
• Secrets to travel like a true business professional, from booking the right flights to staying safe in a strange city.
• Shortcuts to boost your productivity and find work-life balance, while also impressing your boss.
• Tips for navigating the transition from a college schedule to a professional one.
• Tactics for shutting down sexism, so you never have to deal with mansplaining, interruptions, or misogynistic jokes again.
• A game plan for turning your first job into the perfect springboard for a successful career.

No matter how well you did in college, your classes didn't teach you everything. No college curriculum teaches you what to expect at a drug screening, how to file taxes, or which health insurance to select. You don't have to struggle through these and other career-related decisions alone. College to Career will provide you with all the skills, knowledge, and techniques you need to start your career with success. Think of this book as the cheapest college class you never took!
