"Dormrooms to Boardrooms is by far one of the best I've read.
This is a must-read for recent college grads. I look forward to the
information in the next book. I graduated from undergrad school 5
years ago; but unfortunately; I still do not understand stocks and
information on investing money. I'm hoping these things will be
addressed in the next book or books in the future. Victoria is
definitely a wonderful author!“ --website-general-comments
"This book does the research on transition to the real world that
would take you days and days!!! A must read for all entering the
Real World!!!!! If I only had this book 25 years ago! No longer
alone as I try and make it on my own! Easy to read; yet full of
useful information! Takes the pain out of growing up!” Michael S.
“I enjoyed the chapter on clothes and style. I found it very
informative. It was very easy to read. I picked up a few new ideas.”
Rhena
“It was great! Thoughtful and easy to read. Small nuggets of very
important wisdom. The short anecdotes were humorous (at times)
and made it easy and enjoyable to read. These are the kinds of
things you wish someone would have told you about in
retrospect.” Lisa
"(The chapter on living arrangements was...) Everything I needed
to know without asking. I wish I had this when my daughter needed
a roommate in college. We weren't lucky." Alex H.
“I read the first chapter to prepare for interviews. It gave me some
new ideas and think it (the book) is going to be successful.” Vilma
"A very insightful book. It provides information on a variety of
topics that are particularly useful to young people. I especially like
the money management tips provided throughout the book. Wish I
had read this book before I left the nest." Valerie
“I enjoyed reading chapter 4, “Office Politics,” because it provided
excellent methods of handing various situations that may occur in
an office setting and other work environments. This chapter
provided insight of how anytime a person chooses to take on new
challenges he or she wanders into uncharted waters of office
politics.
“As a mentor, I believe that it is vital to show by action, how to
command respect and praise without jeopardizing others. This
chapter provided examples of how to use office politics to build a
strong foundation. The information that I have gained is a great
benefit, as I continue to progress in my career. It has great
information that is beneficial to individuals that are beginning their
career.
“In concluding, in my position and in today’s environment,
leadership and dealing with people are very important. I
appreciate the information, and the insight of reading Chapter 4
has provided. The flow of the material was well organized. The
situations that were presented is relevant to what I have seen
throughout my career, and the examples were helpful in providing
insight of how to handling various situations.” Carla
“The knowledge I received while reading this manual was very
helpful and enlightening pertaining to office politics. The manual’s
focus on how to move forward and obtain success in your career
as far as the do's and don'ts can be very helpful to one just
starting out or starting over. And the focus on retirement benefits
and thrift savings prepares the beginner on how important it is to
prepare for the future. It is my belief that this manual can be very
helpful in one obtaining success in one's career.” Michelle
“Bravo!!! The information presented in the travel tips chapter was
informative, enlightening and very concise. The information was
easy on the eye, unlike most travel guides. I was enthralled with
the practical advice from reservation to cost saving techniques,
very informative. Both novice and seasoned travelers would
benefit immensely from the author’s exhaustive research. So, all
one has to do is read, travel and enjoy!!!!” Tim
“I think it’s (the chapter on meetings and presentations) a nice,
concise chapter that does an excellent job of introducing how to
give presentations, write reports, and meeting conduct. The little
stories intertwined in the text are definitely worthwhile as they help
hold the reader’s attention in a somewhat dull subject matter. Also
the boxes on each page highlighting the important aspects are
also very beneficial.” Farhat
“The importance of the Image and Style chapter cannot be
overstated. One should not overlook the power of a good first
impression. This chapter provides the background and research
to help you make that first good impression. Many employers
interpret appears in terms of what you know about the world
around you and the attention you pay to detail. Potential
employers base a significant part of their hiring decision on
grooming, clothes and accessories. I really enjoyed reading this.
A great job.” Michele G.
“The chapter on getting ahead was very informative with an
excellent use of bullet points. Its focus on personal development is
very timely, especially considering that today’s world is now a
fiercely competitive global market place, making the addition of
personal development skills imperative for advancement.”
