Critics Review

Reading Everybody Hates HR feels like getting career advice from friends who actually know what they’re talking about. It’s warm, clear and thorough, and it finally says out loud the unspoken rules none of us were ever trained for. The section on personal branding is a must: yes, putting yourself out there can feel cringe, but that’s exactly what opens doors. And with such a sharp grasp of today’s job market, this is the book I wish I’d had at the start of my career. – Bola Sol, financial educator and author of How To Save It and Your Money Life
