And in that time we're here, there really isn't any difference between any of us, if we take time out to understand each other. The question is 'Do I know who you are? Do you know who I am? And if we care for each other.' If we do, we can turn the world around." - Harry Belafonte, from Ep. 314 of The Muppet Show

Here you are:
One key point we generally stress is that the book is not a “how to get a job” recipe. It advises on how to succeed and achieve professional fulfillment in a career. The book addresses the “stuff there wasn’t time for” in school – political savvy and negotiating for compensation for starters.
Just so you know - the very first review in FUMSI (listed on the Facebook page shown below) questioned why we needed to tell new professionals about attire/grooming and money. Hmmm … we did so because we have seen what lack of attention to those aspects can cause!
