I was given the advice long ago that one should make themselves the first person someone thinks of when they have a position available. In my career, it was probably the best advice I was ever given. In the early days, people around me would wonder why I would do extra work for free or why I took on so many projects... these same people complained that they could never get ahead.

I came across this book and was THRILLED that it spelled out step by step what it means to become the obvious choice. One would think that people who are hungry to get ahead would know this already... but they don't. I have known people to follow this same advice and the reccommendations in the book and get ahead... I have yet to experience someone who didn't take action progress as quickly, if at all.

Managers, this is a great book to help groom your employees for career satisfaction and advancement. Parents, this is a good book for your college graduates, even high school students. I keep at least 10 copies of this book at all times and use it whenever I see someone is ready for mentoring.

This book gets one of my highest recommendations.

During this economic time, this book is an eye opener on how to show that you might be not only the obvious choice for a promotion but the obvious choice to keep and not be laid off.

Wonderful advice for someone looking to advance their career with the company they currently work for. I've applied several points from this book and have been fast-tracked for the next promotion!!! I will definitely recommend this book for anyone interested in career development.

This is a great back to basics style book. It gives simple and valuable advice on how to succeed. It is a very short read, and it's a must-have for anyone just starting out. I'd recommend it for anyone.

This little book is a quick read and very inspiring. There are simple little things that you can do to start preparing for your promotion or new job. The tips are timeless.
