"Dream it, Believe it, Achieve it," says the successful and young entrepreneur as he offers a hipper and smarter answer to What Color Is Your Parachute for Generation Y.

There are more young entrepreneurs and opportunities in today's job market than ever before. People fresh out of college or looking to change careers have more advanced skill sets and a greater level of sophistication than those who traveled the same road just a decade before. This prescriptive guide to career management is written by someone who's been there, done it well, and helped thousands of others in the process. Filled with real-world advice that counsels as it encourages, it fuses easy-to-follow exercises with practical tips on everything from the all-important interview to overcoming rejection to the art of top-down job hunting. It takes readers step-by-step over bumps in the road -- such as the pre-life crisis, common career traps, and what to do if you're offered a job you're not sure you want. It helps new grads or those newly dissatisfied to focus on what they need to make them happy in a career. Most important, it will reassure anyone facing a new career that discovering and pursuing their passions will lead to far more than just a paycheck.

Library Journal Review

Touted as a guide for both career changers and those new to the job market, this book actually addresses a very narrow niche: college students who hope to succeed in the private sector. Like Richard Bolles in What Color Is Your Parachute? (Ten Speed, 2000), Gunhus presents exercises for self-discovery, but the two writers differ on how to pursue one's chosen career. Gunhus begins with a fairly conventional approach to the job hunt, as opposed to Bolles's more creative method, but then he counsels job seekers to do whatever it takes to get an offer from an employer, even after repeated rejection. His other recommendations include sleep-deprivation, multilevel marketing (a "growth business"), and "character building internships" like those offered by the author's own company, National Services Group, a house-painting franchise. Gunhus's in-your-face, go-getter approach, underscored by the hundreds of motivational quotations sprinkled throughout the book, made this reviewer want to take a nap. An optional purchase for undergraduate career collections. Susan M. Colowick, North Olympic Lib. Syst., Port Angeles, WA (c) Copyright 2010.
