Every year, millions of young women enter the work force or change jobs. Lots of them implode, get fired, get tired, get demoralized and exploited, or get lost in the job maze. They make new friends, bad decisions, and break old school habits. Everyone’s been there—one way or another. That’s why Nancy A. Shenker and Lindsay E. Brown can provide 200+ quick-read tips and tricks, straight talk from a twenty-something professional chick (who survived her first jobs) and a fifty-something boss lady (who used to be young once and has had more jobs than she can count). They tell the dos, don’ts, and never-ever-evers. They reveal: • How to pinpoint your passions • Personal branding how-tos • Ways to use social media to land your dream job • Secrets for taming the office bitch • The best way to dress (and undress) • Techniques for quitting • And much more... And, even though homework and overtime suck, there are quizzes and checklists too. The perfect book to help the 20-something get smarter, stay out of trouble, and end up happily employed and passionate about her job. And as for any passion for the dude in the next cube . . . probably not a good idea!

A Fresh, Funny, and Surprisingly Fantastic Take on the Modern World of Work
July 13, 2012
By Erinius
Format:Paperback
This was a refreshing departure from the pedantic professional self-help books that are recommended to today's college graduates. As a recent college graduate myself, this book helped me wade through a sea of resumes, interviews, and job listings-- a task more difficult than one might think given the current economy. The concept of creating a coherent personal brand was new to me, and while I'm skeptical of the terminology, I really liked how thinking about 'branding' helped formulate my thoughts for each specific interview.
Also, I cannot say enough about the approachable and humorous tone of this book. I have met author Nancy Shenker on several occasions and her confidence and rapier-sharp witticisms translate brilliantly onto the page.
Overall, as a recent entrant into the professional field and a chronic overthinker, I would really recommend this book to anyone searching for a job or any young overachiever looking to advance in his or her field.

Having recently attended the 2011 New York Business Expo I stumbled onto my very own copy of Don't Hook Up With The Dude In The Next Cube written by woman-preneurs Nancy A. Shenker and Lindsay E. Brown. It's not the normal 'read' I would reach for, but after hearing Nancy speak about the complex world of public relations and how media and journalism have changed branding at an expo that thousands of New Yorkers attended, I wanted to take a peek. I found the topics of approaching a new career empowering and the overall tone of the book was a step by step guide about building healthy work habits for newbies: a pocket guide to surviving the career jungle of sorts.
To be honest, from the name of the cover I didn't want to like the book but the content addressed topics I actually value such as focus in the workplace, how to build quality professional relationships and how to be professional in a number if nerve wrecking professional circumstances. My light bulb really went on, though, with the suggestions about how a woman should go about approaching a mentor. This should make it's way into every female grads congratulations goodie bag. The career secrets for young women in the workplace are spot on.
