ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The hardworking folks who were essential in helping me turn a good idea into a published book in 2004 and have helped its audience grow over the last fifteen years include my agents Alex Glass and Michelle Wolfson, my friend Peter Castro, my patient and wise lawyer Josh Grossman, and the very competent and always responsive staff at Career Press: Michael Pye, Laurie Kelly, Bonni Hamilton, Michael Kerber, Mike Conlon, Jane Hagaman, and Kathryn Sky-Peck.

I will be forever grateful to the hundreds of professional twenty-somethings who inspired me with their personal stories, and to the thousands of readers who made the original, second, and third editions a success and paved the way for this new edition of They Don’t Teach Corporate in College. I am also deeply indebted to the HR, recruiting, and training professionals; the university professors; and the corporate partners who helped spread the book’s messages to large populations of twenty-somethings from Japan to Greece!

I’d like to thank my friends, my colleagues through the years, and my family—especially my husband, Stewart Shankman, and my father, Robert Levit—for keeping the faith and encouraging me each step of the way.
