[Maltaise · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is a compilation of stories from journalists about their experiences during their first year on the job. Their stories offer sound advice for everyone no matter what your career is regarding how to learn on the job, make the best out of a situation and utilize the experience that is given to you. Some were fortunate to land a job they wanted while others took what came their way. What I found interesting is where their careers took them after their first job.
