About the Author

Jennifer Musselman is West Coast Communications Manager for MTV Networks' Nickelodeon TV. She is also a Los Angeles-based freelance writer for such publications as Shape, Seventeen, CosmoGirl and Twist. Before joining Nickelodeon, she worked in television news as a writer and field reporter. She received her bachelor's degree in Communications from the University of Northern Iowa.

Patty DeGregori is a schoolteacher in San Francisco. In her spare time, she volunteers assisting young people in their studies and daily living issues. She received her bachelor's degree from California State University at Chico and attended graduate school at the University of California, San Diego.

Former post-college roommates in Southern California, Jennifer and Patty came up with the idea for The Hip Girl's Handbook‘s from direct personal experience of knowledge gaps in daily living skills and from their friends' stories of humorous mishaps. They hope the books will foster independence and confidence among today's women.

5.0 out of 5 stars MUST HAVE!, July 11, 2005
By 
P. C. Filar (Shelby Township, MI) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Hip Girl's Handbook for the Working World (Paperback)
This Hip Girls guide is a must for any working person. Not only is it fun reading, informative and easy to understand, but as a resource it is a MUST. Ever find yourself stressed about a work related issue and tried to use the internet to search out a topic? I have, and if I did find the topic, the answer wasn't very clear. This book gives you the straight facts, and if the topic requires further details, it provides you with a quick and easy source to get more information. I am going to buy more copies because I think it is the perfect gift.

This review is from: Hip Girl's Handbook for the Working World (Paperback)
I must say that being a young professional, there are alot of books out there that tackle just one area or only a few. The Hip Girls Handbook for the Working World tackled EVERY issue. If I had any questions or concerns of how to deal with certain working world issues, this book gave me the answer. I would recommend this to any female professional as a guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars A guide for women who are new to the workforce, just got laid off, or who are looking to jump-start their career, January 7, 2006
This review is from: Hip Girl's Handbook for the Working World (Paperback)
The Hip Girl's Handbook For The Working World is a guide for women who are new to the workforce, just got laid off, or who are looking to jump-start their career. Chapters offer practical tips for putting one's best foot forward when interviewing for a job, negotiating a fair deal, dealing with real-world situations of etiquette or relationships in the workplace, and how to make a graceful exit should one have to leave a job by choice or force. Though carefully researched, The Hip Girl's Handbook for the Working World focuses on practical advice rather than drowning the reader in statistics, and humorous anecdotes add an extra bit of mirth to the beginning of each chapter. Highly recommended.
