It seems like every single day theres a new business book on how to deal with Millennials but very rarely do you get information for Millennials on how to deal with everyone else. Jennifers book changes all of that. Covering a variety of topics that we should have learned in school but were never taught for some reason, Millennials Guide to Work is a practical and action-oriented resource for anyone (millennial or otherwise) who wants to land a job, deal with coworkers, or just get better results in the workplace.
