本书结合作者十多年来从事大学生就业服务与教学一线的工作经历，提炼了30个容易令大学生困惑的就业问题，将与应届生就业紧密相关的大学与就业求职准备初入职场三个模块分别予以阐述。内容涵盖怎样找到自己的优势、如何处理学校及专业与就业的关系、怎样有针对性地准备就业、怎么进行就业选择、初入职场如何应对等，并结合真实案例进行解读，且辅以插图，可读性较强。本书可供大学生自学，亦可供就业指导工作者参考。
朱德庸先生说：做自己喜欢的事情，那是一种幸福；喜欢自己做的事，那是一种惜福，如果我们成不了幸福的人，至少可以做一个惜福的人。回想起来，在不知不觉陪伴中，我与一届又一届毕业生走过了十四年，对于日益严峻的就业形势，其实我能做的很少，好在因为深入其中，对于这项工作也有了自己的理解与喜欢。在和毕业生一起体会艰辛的同时，也和他们一起经历了收获的幸福，也算领略到惜福与幸福之间，是有通路的。
在一次分享会上，一位硕士毕业选择读博士的毕业生表达了他对于科研的理解与喜欢：写一篇学术论文，就是要去讲一个也许被人忽略了却依然很有价值的故事。为了把这个故事讲得精彩些，我愿意多下些功夫。
他的话让我不禁想到：自己这么多年与大学生们相伴走过的求职路上，是否也积累了被忽略却依然有价值的故事？
袁岳先生在一篇《干小活》的文章里说道：如果我们思考大活，那大半只是一种念头，因为思考国家大事，并没有可练手的机会。小活就不一样，你想做随时有得做。对于服务毕业生就业的小活，于我而言，真是想做随时有得做。如果能干一件讲个故事或分享个案例这样的小活，故事与案例本身的被忽略有价值和精彩能兼具诚然好，但只顾及一点也还能被接纳的话，无疑在就业这个关系民生的国家大事和随手可做的小活中间找到了一个可靠的连接，不能不说是一种幸福。
所以我决定干点小活，把自己认为的收获拿出来分享。
绝大多数应届生的求职，要经历的是一个之前没有相关经验的大转变、一个从无到有的过程。对于身在这个过程中的人，内心的焦虑来源于诸多的不确定，也许还来源于机会的不平等，这种焦虑是自然的，也是本质的。
作为一个与求职者相伴的同行者来说，力求尽可能多地给予其有共性特征的信息。另外，对于你们承担的压力希望能给予一些理解。
为了顺应当前读图时代的趋势，我特意在书中加了一些插图，就水平而言，充其量只能算是我自学阶段的习作，并且是请一位已毕业的研究生同学帮忙并手绘而成。对于那些终日奔波于各个招聘会现场的求职者，只消搭一眼的功夫，若能心领神会，也许会有些微帮助。
鉴于求职过程的个性化实在太突出，求职能力的提升严格意义上来说不在于别人的经验，而在于体验。就业成功的真理只有在真正的劳动力市场上才能得到最好的检验！
也就是说，就业作为一项关乎个人发展的大事，关乎其指导技能的各方面的进步，绝不仅仅取决于目前称之为就业指导者们的进步，而在于越来越多的人及其越来越丰富的一线体验。我们能做的，而且迫切需要做的，就是不断地从供大于求的市场现状带给我们的无助、挫败的状态中挣脱出来，从不少前辈不断寻求光明的经验中积攒信心与希望。
要隆重感谢过去十多年中，所有热情的毕业生与我分享的求职故事和精彩体验。也同样期待你历练后的经验来更新我的观点和故事，以便为后来者带去更多的从容。
