Rob McGovern
A Success Road Map for Gen X and Gen Y professionals from the founder of CareerBuilder and Mkt10.com
As we all know, bookstores are full of how-to find a job and resume guides, but Rob McGovern's new book, Bring Your A Game: The Ten Secrets of the High Achiever, maps out a plan to equip young - and future professionals - to be tomorrow's business leaders.This book is especially written to address the severe labor shortage that will arise once baby boomers, which hold most of the senior management positions, begin to retire and young professionals are evaluated to fill these positions.
"We have a perfect storm just ahead of us where millions of management job openings will be vacant and few qualified candidates will exist to fill the openings." - Rob McGovern.

Drawing on his impressive expertise as a successful entrepreneur and a professional skills developer, the book details the tried-and-true career advancement secrets that produced the nation's top business leaders by offering real-world answers for real people wanting to work hard to be successful.
