Mustafa, Musti - your book is fantastic. I'm glad I added this book to my collection.
Writing a book indeed requires unique talent and dedication. One of the most valuable thing is that book is based on your personal experience. Your efforts were completely worth it.
This book is the guide you need to jump start your career and for those who are looking for new job opportunities. You've presented the steps how to finding a career path and develop career. This very readable book provides valuable information.

Gut gefällt mir, was der Autor über Praktika zu sagen hat und wie genau er beschreibt, wie man sich dabei präsentieren sollte. Auch die Empfehlungen zum Verhalten bei Firmenkontaktmessen finde ich instruktiv, besonders die Entscheidungshilfen, wo man sich bewerben könnte/sollte und wie man sich auf die Vorstellungsgespräche vorbereitet.
Etwas mehr Schwierigkeiten bereitet mir der Vergleich mit dem Verhalten eines guten Vertriebsmanns. Was macht man eigentlich, wenn man kein herzlicher und aufgeschlossener Mensch ist, sondern eher ein schüchterner Nerd? Die Tipps zur Körpersprache und dazu, wie man das Verhalten des Interviewpartners ‚spiegeln‘ sollte, in allen Ehren, aber lässt sich das wirklich bewusst steuern? Noch dazu in einer Stresssituation? Vielen dieser Nerds fällt es schwer, spontan eine persönliche Beziehung aufzubauen, trotzdem können sie wertvoll für ein Unternehmen sein. Gibt es für den künftigen Chef keine anderen Kriterien?
Hilfreich finde ich die Tipps, wie man an ein Vorstellungsgespräch herangeht, wie man es nachbereitet, wie man nachfasst (Email an den Interviewpartner) und wie man eventuelle Angebote vergleicht. Die ‚Innenschau‘ – worum geht es mir wirklich? – halte ich ebenfalls für sehr wichtig.
Der Abschnitt über 30-60-90 Tage nach Anritt der neuen Stelle, das Abwägen zwischen Risikobereitschaft und Vorsicht trifft es gut. In Gesprächen mit meinem Mann und meinen längst erwachsenen Kindern wurde das ebenfalls deutlich, wobei mein Sohn noch Wert darauf legte zu betonen, dass man sich hüten sollte, gleich in den ersten zwei Wochen die Firma umkrempeln zu wollen.
Die Angaben, wie lange eine Einarbeitung durchschnittlich dauert, sind hilfreich. Ebenfalls das Kapitel 10 things to avoid.
Ansonsten wird auch in diesem Abschnitt der karrierehungrige, kontaktfreudige Berufsanfänger bevorzugt. Und das scheint mir auch die geeignete Zielgruppe zu sein.
Interessant das Kapitel darüber, wenn der Traumjob das irgendwann nicht mehr ist. Mut zur Veränderung ist eine Sache, aber tiefer geht die Aufforderung zur Analyse: Was gefällt mir (nicht ) an meiner Arbeit (anstatt: warum erfüllt die Arbeit meine Erwartungen nicht)? Das Plädoyer für den innerbetrieblichen Wechsel überzeugt.
Alles in allem: kurzweilig zu lesen, gut strukturiert, fundierte Ratschläge für eine bestimmte Zielgruppe.

I've been working with Mustafa for many years, and I can testify that he is truly an expert in the topics described in the book. It has been a pleasure of a read, I have been preaching this way of thinking to many people around me that look for happiness, meaningful employment and tips and tricks on how to survive and strive in the modern corporate environment. I only wish that I could read this book before entering the workforce, it is indeed a perfect guide for young individuals who are taking their first steps in business (as well as a fresh reminder on "how-to-make-things-work-for-you-and-be-happy-while-doing-so" to professionals who have been there for some time).

Excellent book for students who are figuring out what steps they need to take and what attitude to have in order to land their dream job. It helped me also to organize my thoughts and have a clearer vision of my goals.
