Dans le premier chapitre de cet ouvrage dédié au développement de carrière des membres de la génération Y (les individus nés entre le début des années 1980 et le début des années 2000), Aaron McDaniel, cadre supérieur au sein d'AT&T et enfant du millénaire, se remémore les paroles de son supérieur hiérarchique lors de sa première évaluation de performance : « Je ne suis pas sûr que vous ayez bien 'saisi tous les enjeux'... d'ailleurs, je ne suis même pas sûr que vous compreniez réellement comment faire votre travail. » Ce genre de remarque pourrait bien vous inciter à ne pas vous fier à McDaniel en tant qu'expert en gestion de carrière, cependant, son honnêteté est stimulante. Comme le révèle l'auteur, la plupart des membres de la génération Y qui arrivent sur le marché du travail sont tout aussi mal informés que lui au sujet de la réalité du monde de l'entreprise. Néanmoins, il est parvenu à rapidement comprendre la logique des choses et a acquis, aujourd'hui, le statut de cadre de haut niveau. McDaniel dévoile aux jeunes recrues professionnelles les meilleures pratiques à adopter pour bâtir leur carrière et s'attache à mettre en évidence les pièges à éviter. Bien que l'auteur fasse parfois preuve d'une immaturité juvénile persistante, comme lorsqu'il se targue d'avoir réussi à obtenir un bureau de direction, getAbstract recommande son guide pratique à tous les enfants du millénaire ainsi qu'à tous ceux qui s'emploient à construire leur carrière professionnelle In the first chapter of this career-skills book for Gen Yers - people born between the early 1980s and the early 2000s - AT&T corporate manager and Gen Yer Aaron McDaniel recalls what his first boss told him during his first performance review: "I'm just not sure that you really 'get it'...I am not sure you really even understand how to do your job." This may not inspire your confidence in McDaniel as a career expert, but his honesty is refreshing. This dubious episode illustrates why his take on career growth can help its targeted readers. As McDaniel explains, like him, many Gen Yers enter the workplace hugely misinformed. Yet he quickly figured things out. Today McDaniel is a high achiever. He describes best practices young people can use to build their careers and points out pitfalls to avoid. Though McDaniel occasionally demonstrates some lingering youthful callowness - like crowing about winning a corner office - getAbstract recommends his smart book to Gen Yers and anyone else working to build a career There are 80 million members of the Millennial generation. Each year more than 1.5 million of them enter the working world with little to no idea of how to succeed. While companies spend millions of dollars a year scrambling to learn more about them and adapt their work cultures to fit this generation, there are remarkably few resources dedicated to teaching these young people the traits and techniques that will help them succeed in an ever-changing and always-challenging corporate environment.
