The Building on Your Best for Career Success text builds upon one of the most complete, concrete student success programs in the country, the well-known Cornerstone franchise. Always known for its concrete applications, conversational tone, and positive spin, it is the most comprehensive and focused student success text written exclusively for the Career College Market. The authors interviewed many instructors, students, and administrators working and thriving in the CareerCollege Market and based the book on the needs identified. The author team has streamlined and tailored the content to support the busy working schedules and non-traditional types of students in the career market space. The text covers the ever-important fields of change, persistence, time and money management, reading comprehension, learning styles, memory development, testing strategies and critical thinking. It includes suggestions and strategies for academic success and personal improvement–including goals, change, and career/life planning, and presents the content in a way that is most useful for the career college student. Additionally, the text includes a NEW comprehensive chapter on entering the world of work. From writing a cover letter and resume to interviewing, from dining etiquette to proper dress, from workplace politics and civility, this chapter is an essential “how to” for every graduating student. The book provides students with a variety of solutions to almost any problem faced in the first year of college and beyond. Included with every new copy is the Video Cases on CD-ROM Activity and Learning Guide to facilitate active learning.

Review
“As a Career Services Coordinator for more than five years, an instructor in Professional and Career Development, and a business owner, I have never seen a more comprehensive approach to training the student in the proper methodology for achieving his or her academic, professional, and private goals.”
“It is an exceptional text, well thought-out, relevant to the lives of today’s students, especially those who are working, working mothers, or just coming back to the classroom to update skills or retrain for a new career.”
--Edward M. Tucker, Lincoln College of Technology
“... the text seems to reflect current trends in the field. I think acknowledging past struggles of students and empowering them to approach their education with intentionality, rather than just “hoping” that it will be different, is reflected in the field of higher education.”
--Jean Fennema, Pima Medical Institute
“This book focuses on students being accountable for their own success―which is sorely lacking in most student success texts. It speaks in a common language that students of all abilities can relate to, which is very important in our market...My students are always engaged during this class because of the way the topics are covered. Most texts also do not focus on the nitty gritty of getting and keeping a job―which is absolutely essential to my students.”
--Kate Sawyer, Lincoln Educational
