Lean In for Graduates
Lean In for Graduates | Sheryl Sandberg
3 posts | 3 read | 3 to read
Expanded and updated exclusively for graduates just entering the workforce, this extraordinary edition of Lean In includes a letter to graduates from Sheryl Sandberg and six additional chapters from experts offering advice on finding and getting the most out of a first job; résumé writing; best interviewing practices; negotiating your salary; listening to your inner voice; owning who you are; and leaning in for millennial men. In 2013, Sheryl Sandberg’s Lean In became a massive cultural phenomenon and its title became an instant catchphrase for empowering women. The book soared to the top of best-seller lists both nationally and internationally, igniting global conversations about women and ambition. Sandberg packed theaters, dominated op-ed pages, appeared on every major television show and on the cover of Time magazine, and sparked ferocious debate about women and leadership. Now, this enhanced edition provides the entire text of the original book updated with more recent statistics and features a passionate letter from Sandberg encouraging graduates to find and commit to work they love. A combination of inspiration and practical advice, this new edition will speak directly to graduates and, like the original, will change lives. New Material for the Graduate Edition: · A Letter to Graduates from Sheryl Sandberg · Find Your First Job, by Mindy Levy (Levy has more than twenty years of experience in all phases of organizational management and holds degrees from Wharton and Penn) · Negotiate Your Salary, by Kim Keating (Keating is the founder and managing director of Keating Advisors) · Man Up: Millennial Men and Equality, by Kunal Modi (Modi is a consultant at McKinsey & Company and a recent graduate of Harvard Kennedy School and Harvard Business School) · Leaning In Together, by Rachel Thomas (Thomas is the president of Lean In) · Own Who You Are, by Mellody Hobson (Hobson is the president of Ariel Investments) · Listen to Your Inner Voice, by Rachel Simmons (Simmons is cofounder of the Girls Leadership Institute) · 12 Lean In stories (500-word essays), by readers around the world who have been inspired by Sandberg

Mehso-so

I learned a few things from Sheryl Sandberg‘s original text, but the added essays from others is where I bookmarked the most. IMO - The value in this book is derived almost entirely from the essays of other contributors and chapter 18 on salary negotiations. It‘s unfortunate there are so few opportunities for this knowledge to be formalized for young women (historically), but I have hope advice like this will empower my niece‘s generation.

I bought myself some graduation gifts. I've been on three librarian interviews so far and have gotten great feedback, yet still no job. But I've got another interview next week! #LibrariansofLitsy

Notafraidofwords "Nice girls" --that's a condescending title lol 8y
drbethandherkindle Best of luck on the job search! 8y
pocketmermaid @Notafraidofwords I don't think it's meant to be condescending, but rather a twist on the saying, "nice guys finish last." Rather than being the opposite of "mean," in this context I think it's more like a synonym of polite, pushover or a doormat kind of person. 8y
