Book Description

October 28, 2006
200 + Harvard Business School graduates and other top executives give advice on how to succeed early in your career
New graduates are full of potential but sometimes lack the prowess to become a rising star. Firmly aimed at future CEOs, New Recruit to High Flyer provides the means to rise up from the trenches and move up the corporate ladder into a bigger, more visible role within an organization.
Focusing initially on attitude, the most important factor in achieving career success, Karseras moves on to encourage the development of the fundamental skills required to succeed: a systematic approach to work, performing excellent research and analysis, developing strong communication skills and becoming highly proficient at project and people management. He also instructs on how to navigate the political organization by building networks, developing mentors, understanding the political maneuverings of the work environment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great gift for a new graduate, April 24, 2007
By 
Peter Belden (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: From New Recruit to High Flyer: No-Nonsense Advice on How to Fast Track Your Career (Paperback)
Great book. I found this book is much more practical than many other related books. It contains countless specific tips and steps you can take. And as a previous review notes, there are plenty of books on how to land a job, but this is the rare one that tells you how to excel once you have the job. Very readable, valuable, practical and even humorous at times. The last thing I'll mention is that I like the way the author drew on interviews from a number of sources. I'm suspicious of books that tout the approach of just one successful individual. I might not be like that individual. I find the interview approach much better because it identifies common themes and approaches that have worked for a range of people.

4.0 out of 5 stars Accuracy of the book reflected in the cover image., February 15, 2007

This review is from: From New Recruit to High Flyer: No-Nonsense Advice on How to Fast Track Your Career (Paperback)
The content of the book is accurate and new. But, most of all it is practical.

The major focus is on attitude and doing good work. Between these two focuses you will do great. The book explains how to maintain and brand yourself with an attitude, while also providing the tricks of the trade in doing good work. The book is simple and straight forward. There is very little B.S.

I am at the beginning my career and have seen great results so far. After reading the book, I have given to a colleague and to a friend. Both have enjoyed it and wish they had read it earlier in their careers.

5.0 out of 5 stars A 'bible' every new hire needs to make the most of a new position., February 8, 2007
This review is from: From New Recruit to High Flyer: No-Nonsense Advice on How to Fast Track Your Career (Paperback)
Numerous guides cover how to land a job - but few focus on how to succeed as a new hire. From New Recruit to High Flyer covers everything from project and people management to understanding office structure and relationships, providing real-life examples from those who have succeeded as new hires. Common pitfalls and how to overcome them are included in a 'bible' every new hire needs to make the most of a new position.
