Career Killers Career Builders

The author highlights and expounds on five career killers and five career builders and what's interesting is that they seem trivial but they do affect growth and destroy reputations.
I loved the tone of writing. It's engaging and the use of case studies and real life situations which helped bring out what the author was saying.
Thank you NetGalley for the eARC. I was really interested in reading this book because I engage with young people and wanted to gain understanding on mentorship and clarity on what defines a job and what defines a career.

I really liked this book.. Good advice written in an engaging style. I wish I'd read it years ago. Actually, forget that - while I'm wishing for things, I wish I was still young enough to take full advantage of the advice. I really think this could make a difference to a young person who is preparing to take on the world.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy in exchange for an honest review.

This is one of those essential books that everyone should read at least once in their lifetime! It will inspire you to build a meaningful career, not just settle up for a series of jobs. Mr. Crossman does a great job in laying out wonderful foundations that will help guide students as they enter the workforce. Very informative!

Good material, but a bit heavy (too much text) on each point.

The first half could be condensed significantly. The best part were the examples from the author. The second half was better and I think more useful section

Though intended for millennials, this book could easily benefit professionals, businessmen and adults of all ages looking to improve their careers, figure where they went wrong or perhaps check their mindset. Moreover, it could serve as a handbook for a wide audience whether in education or not. Written in the style of a public lecture the book captures what could possibly be career killers i.e. the traps and habits we often unwittingly fall into that spell a death knell to ones careers either before one has even started or along the way. Likewise, Crossman enumerates and discusses those aspects that help build ones career. Wholesome, forthright and empowering the book seeks to encourage folks from all walks of life who choose to have a career rather than a mere job. An enthusiastic Crossman takes time to explain this difference. In the present scruple less dog eat dog world encouraging a go-getter lifestyle for success he refreshingly urges his readers the importance of integrity and character building. With lucidity and precision Crossman makes a case for each of the career killers and career builders. A successful executive and philanthropist Crossman has lectured, spoken and mentored numerous students and is thus well qualified to impart advice.
