New York: Vintage Books. Very Good 1995. Paperback.

Richardson, who now runs his own consulting firm advising companies on how to work with young employees, got his start selling online research and corporate intelligence. He emphasizes networking, details conducting a comprehensive job search (stressing that looking for work is hard work itself) , and advises on getting ahead once on the job. An appendix includes what he calls ""Cliff Notes"" profiles of a selected group of major careers: advertising, banking, engineering, etc. Highly recommended for public, school, and undergraduate libraries.
