One of the outstanding authors in the employment space is Alexandra Levit, founder and president of Inspiration at Work, a career consulting firm. After leaving her gig as a nationally syndicated career columnist with Tribune Media Services, Alexandra turned her attention to blogging for HuffingtonPost.com and GetTheJob.com. She's also authored several books, including the just released Success for Hire: Simple Strategies to Find and Keep Outstanding Employees.

One of the reasons that I read everything that I can of hers is that she writes in a clear, concise, no nonsense style. She's one of those rare authors who understands that if a book can communicate its message in 100 pages then it should be 100 pages, not 250 because some publishing house guru thinks that it will look better on the shelf at 250 pages. Another reason that I read her works is that a disproportionately large number of them focus on issues related to Gen Y / Millennials.

If you care as I do about how employers can and should deal with the impending retirement of many and perhaps most Baby Boomers and their replacement in the workforce by Gen Y, then you need to read Alexandra's new book: Success for Hire. It is written for hiring managers and human resource professionals to help them deal with this impending crisis in an efficient, effective, thoughtful manner.
