About this title

Synopsis

This unique, easy-to-read reference guide gives recent graduates practical, usable guidance and advice they need to thrive in their careers.

Reviews

This first-job survival guide begins with tips on surviving the first day on the job. The authors suggest that there are four things one needs to do: research the new employer, time and plan the best route to work, check the wardrobe so that the chosen outfit is appropriate, and adapt sleep habits to help stay alert during the day. Part 1 deals with one's professional image (including grooming and vocal impression), business-writing basics, and business etiquette. Part 2, concentrating on working with people, gives advice on handling difficult coworkers, developing a positive relationship with the boss, and being an effective team member. Part 3, focused on skills for getting ahead, is a guide to tapping into the positive side of conflict situations, influencing others, and maximizing the results. Concludes with checklists and self-tests. George Cohen
