Five-Star review on Amazon from 2018:

“What I like most was the 2 questions “What do I do now?” and “Why am I still not in the job I want to be in?” esp. when you’re a recent College grad from an HBCU and starting over. I’m loving this book for researching with my job hunting & career choices on where to begin choosing/finding one.
Where African Americans are in the workplace today? I believe & think it’s relevant for today as it was 16 yrs. ago.
