Want a edge in this competitive environment? Follow the authors tips based on real corporate world experiences and insider information. This book does a fine job in revealing the sometimes ugly underbelly of the corporate world. Most folks play by the rules and never fully understand the games that employers play to place them at a disadvantage. Follow the authors advice and turn the odds in your favor. From my own 35+ years in the corporate environment I can attest to the clarity of this advice and the sometimes unfair realities of the work place. Using these tips can only aid your quest for employment.
