Critics Review
“Vermunt’s down-to-earth approach, useful questions, and thoughtful lessons may spark motivation for folks who just aren’t sure how to find the best work that aligns with both their degrees and their values.” — Booklist“I sucked at my first job. And my second. And my third. This was the book I needed. It’s a smacking slap, bright flashlight to the eyeballs, and cozy sweater hug all wrapped in one. Preach on, Sarah!” — Neil Pasricha, New York Times bestselling author, The Book of Awesome & The Happiness Equation“I love this freakin’ book! Sarah Vermunt has written the definitive guide to career success for anyone who wants more from work. Buy a copy for every college student and grad you know.” — Kevin Kruse, New York Times bestselling author, Great Leaders Have No Rules“This book!! A must-read for new grads who want to get their career kickstarted in the right way.” — Shannon Lee Simmons, bestselling author of Worry-Free Money“Sarah Vermunt wants you to land your dream job as much as you do. This is a smart, funny, clear-eyed guide for any recent grad or gear-shifting worker trying to navigate the crazy world of modern employment.” — Katrina Onstad, author of The Weekend Effect“Sarah Vermunt might just be the singular adult on planet Earth who will not lie to you. And take it from a geriatric millennial like myself — weeding out the lying-liars is job numero uno. Best of luck, grasshoppers, may the force of honest AF straight-talkers be with you.” — Steph Jagger, founder of The Great Big Journey and author of Unbound: Finding Myself on Top of the World“It’s so rare to find a writer who so brilliantly walks the line between no-nonsense real talk and compassionate warmth: Sarah’s kindness and enthusiasm shine through with every chapter. I wish Career Rookie had existed when I was starting out, because she would’ve saved me a lot of power cries.” — Anne T. Donahue, author of Nobody Cares“Sarah Vermunt has done it again. With joyful irreverence, she kicks garden variety career advice to the curb and shows us the better way: the way to what we truly want.” — Christina Crook, author of The Joy of Missing Out: Finding Balance in a Wired World“This brilliant and salty little volume is so hilarious you’ll forget it’s actually helping you figure your shit out and go pro.” — Sarah Seidelmann, author of Born to FREAK: A Salty Primer for Irrepressible Humans“Career Rookie won’t solve all of your problems or answer all of your questions but Sarah Vermunt’s new book will give you a lot of tools to help you on your way to kicking ass in your job hunt and eventual career (whatever that might look like). I highly recommend it.” — Books Etc. blog
