The new or soon-to-be college graduate is provided in this book with the basic facts of the employment process and the system within which this process operates. A master plan is presented for effective representation of self on paper, during the interview, when deciding upon a job offer, and on the job.

Different types of interviews are discussed, from the perspective both of the interviewee and the interviewer, and reference points for determining which offer finally to accept are offered.
