There Is Life After College; Jeffrey J. Selingo (2016)

 I read this from the perspective of a parent whose children will need to navigate life after college, since things are very different now from when I graduated; for that matter, from when this book was published in 2016.  There are some good notes in here about the need to do internships, starting your job search relatively early in your senior year (in much the same way your college applications went out early in your HS senior year), and in your first decade out of college, move around from role to role, and company to company, in order to learn about how organizations work and what interests you most.  

There is some talk about the "7 competencies companies are looking for" that is both helpful and concerning.  For example, the author notes that students/future employees need to be able to "take tough feedback", but there is no discussion of how to recognize "tough but fair" from "harsh and abusive."  Similarly, in a discussion of one of the post-graduate "finishing schools", he quotes some of the participants talking about how they "often worked late into the night" on their projects, but there is no discussion of how to (or the need to) rest and recharge.  

There is an important question of how you do good work and have a satisfying career without being taken advantage of.  This was true in 2016, but in the light of the recent mass layoffs at Google, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft, et al, it seems an especially important conversation to have.
