Graduated . . . But are You Ready to Succeed?, Ram V Iyer, 2025
You have just graduated from a top university and you have a high IQ. There should be a feeding frenzy of companies wanting to hire you, right? Wrong. In the workplace. the "rules" are totally different.
While intelligence and credentials are certainly important, what is much more important is being able to use your abilities to achieve results that the world values. The author of this book calls it Smartness.
There is an available assessment, to show where you are doing well, and where you need to work on yourself a little more. This book tells the story of Emma and Jack, two recent college grads dealing with confusion and self-doubt in the workplace. Do they eventually "get it?"
This book is very easy to read and understand. It is a gem of a book that is very much worth reading for all recent college graduates.
