This month's book choice is: Why Good People Can't Get Jobs: The Skills Gap and What Companies Can Do About It by Peter Cappelli. 

Have you been rejected by a company because they said you are not qualified or have a skills gap? Is this the true reason? Peter Cappelli, Wharton management professor and director of Wharton's Center for Human Resources, debunks the arguments and exposes the real reasons good people can't get hired.

Drawing on jobs data, anecdotes from all sides of the employer-employee divide, and interviews with jobs professionals, Cappelli explores the paradoxical forces bearing down on the American workplace and lays out solutions that can help us break through what has become a crippling employer-employee stand-off.

Cooper's Hawk Blanc de Blanc was selected for this month and paired with the book's theme. This bottle was poured during Michelle Obama's First Lady Toast in both 2009 and 2013. As Michelle Obama embarked on a new journey in 2009 we hope you celebrate your new career beginnings the same way. This affordable bottle can be found at any Cooper's Hawk Restaurant and Winery (sorry, not available in regular retail stores). Tasting notes include creamy with a hint of sweet­ness, and a clean and crisp finish. Think of it like a sweet celebration with a fresh beginning.

Cooper's Hawk not near you? Pick up any Blanc de Blanc at your local wine store. Watch out for that Pop when you open that bottle!
