Oct. 28, 2010 - PRLog -- Author Brenda Bence’s book for college graduates focused on how to find a job using personal branding -- How YOU™ are like Shampoo for College Graduates: The Complete Personal Branding System to Define, Position, and Market Yourself and Land a Job You Love -- is a winner in the Young Adult: Non-Fiction category in THE NATIONAL BEST BOOKS 2010 AWARDS. USABookNews.com, the review website for mainstream and independent publishing houses, announced the winners and finalists of the awards on October 26, 2010. Awards were presented for print and audio books published in 2010 and late 2009.

How YOU™ are like Shampoo for College Graduates is the first practical, step-by-step personal branding system designed specifically for job-seeking college grads. “The first two books in my personal branding series helped people in the business world and job seekers use personal branding to achieve greater success.  So, I felt it was important to write a book for college graduates because their challenges are unique,” says Bence. “A graduate’s job search requires a special approach to personal branding. I wanted to give grads a chance not only to find a first job, but to land a job they would truly love – right out of university.”

Jeff Keen, President and CEO of USABookNews.com, said this year’s contest yielded an unprecedented number of entries, which were then narrowed down to just a few finalists and one winner per category. “The 2010 results represent a phenomenal mix of books from a wide array of publishers throughout the United States,” Keen says.
