Students, and life long learners, who is responsible for your future career? You! Here’s a free ebook from Microsoft to help you own your future…

Microsoft Press - Free ebook: Own Your Future: Update Your Skills with Resources and Career Ideas from Microsoft

“We’re thrilled to offer another free ebook: Own Your Future: Update Your Skills with Resources and Career Ideas from Microsoft, by Katherine Murray. The ebook contains eight chapters and an appendix describing how you can assess and build your technology-based job skills.

… Everyone entering or already in the workforce should have access to the resources they need to become lifelong learners who can adapt to an ever-changing workplace.

In this book, students will find a wealth of Microsoft resources they can use to identify the technology skills they need, and gather knowledge and experience to help them take charge of their careers. Here at Microsoft, we care about students’ career success and hope these resources will open doors to learning that will lead them to better opportunities and a deeper understanding of the way technology continues to change and improve the ways people work—both here in the U.S. and around the world.

While this book was written for students who are exploring their career choices, I felt it was also helpful for life long learners, those looking to improve their future career and/or those who may be looking to change careers/jobs.
