Instead of enhancing your practical job hunting skills, this book has a slightly different focus on sharpening your way of thinking and improving your attitude. Illustrating with false starts and personal failures, the author attempts to mentally prepare university graduates with the possibility of a career path which is not exactly the same as the one originally planned. Students are likely to find resonance in this light read and be supported during the job seeking process. The book targets at university graduates, and it is particularly suitable for doctoral students as the author has gone through typical difficulties PhD students usually face upon graduation.
