ED'S BOOK

HELLO, CAREER

What You Need to Know to be Successful in Your First Job

Your first real job out of school. Day one. Help!

Welcome to the working world where having the ability to work smart will demonstrate to your company you are wise beyond your years and present a tremendous opportunity to dash up the corporate ladder. 

Here's the catch—learning how to work smart is not taught in school nor does it appear in your new employee handbook. 

This book is your blueprint to working smart successfully in a physical or remote office. 

A portion of sales of Hello, Career support All Within My Hands Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to creating sustainable communities by supporting workforce education, the fight against hunger, and other critical local services.
