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.

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.

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.

I was a big fan of the last one so when I found a new addition to the "Hip Girl Handbooks" I was excited. I found it to be equally helpful. As a recent college graduate, I was clueless about HMO's and basic "real world" issues. This book broke things down in an easy-to-understand manner. I would recommend it to all college students and post-grads.

This is a great handbook for any working women. I have found it to be very realistic and practical. The short stories shared at the beginning of each chapter add humor and realism to the book. I bought this book for myself and plan to buy it for other friends and family.

I found this book to be common sense (i.e. don't talk badly about the person you just video conferenced with right in front of the video device because it might still be on, don't wear bright eyeshadow to a conservative job, say thank you, etc). This book would be beneficial to someone living in a cave or someone who just wasn't taught any better.

All of the typos in this book made my head spin and made it seem even more juvenile.

I already knew most of this information. Then again, I did purchase this item leaving graduate school and when I was in search of my 5 career. There are other girl guides that are much more useful in other subjects, but also inculde a work-related section. I would suggest one of those.

This book is a must read for the working woman. It is easy and fun to read, offering great and useful advice on how to navigate the working world. I love the real stories woven throughout the book since they are so relatable. I bought a copy for my cousin who is a recent college graduate and getting ready to step into the workplace -- and she can't put it down!

This book has great tips written in a very accessible and witty way--- great for those starting out or already making their way in the working world. There's something for everyone here and it would make a great gift for new grads! Three cheers!

Truly a must have. I really enjoyed this book and have already bought 2 more copies as presents for freinds. The Hip Girl's Handbook offers useful advice and is actually fun to read. It has great insights into what it's like in the working world and how to handle yourself in every work situation. It tells you how to confidently deal with anything that comes up at work. And it's written in a wonderful converstaional style that makes it an enjoyable read. It's a good book for those just starting out as well as anyone making a career transition. It's an all around great resource for everyone who works.
