gain fresh perspective and open new career doors. This book:
* Provides unique insight for new graduates on the technology
sector
* Offers tools of the trade that can be used by the graduate to
make decisions on the job
* Defines how to understand the DNA of an organization, the

skills
With the backing of authors who have distinguished themselves in

applications, along with sound guidelines, that help chart a career
course filled with rewarding opportunities–both personally
and professionally.
