Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
Many career books are aimed at the first hurdleAgetting the jobAwhile others give instruction in becoming a better salesperson, manager, or technician. In another direction, books abound on how to get power (e.g., Michael Korda, Power, 1986) or control (Robert Ringer, Winning Through Intimidation, 1984). Books like Mark H. McCormack's What They Still Don't Teach You at Harvard Business School (Bantam, 1989) are aimed at those who have already made it halfway around the block. But Luppert, a human resources professional, gives the new college graduate the corporate equivalent of Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex but Were Afraid To Ask: a guidebook for navigating the corporate world. While he covers some pretty basic stuff that everyone should know, it is important enough that it should be mentioned. Recommended for general collections.ASteven Silkunas, SEPTA, Philadelphia

Book Description
Nothing really prepares recent graduates for their first job. The working world has its own rules and regulations that aren't taught in schools or at home. Most employers don't--or won't--take the time to explain and articulate the rules. Still, new employees are expected to know them anyway. But how? Rules for the Road tells first-time workers everything they need to know to get ahead and succeed--by avoiding common pitfalls, dealing with bosses, mastering finances, and planning a future. It offers step-by-step strategies and career-building secrets they won't learn anywhere else. And it answers all the questions they're too afraid to ask. Such as:* How--and when--do I ask for a raise? * How can I make a good first impression? * Is it okay to leave on time when everyone else stays late? * What about insurance and benefits? * How can I get promoted--when there are no openings? * Should I dress up, even if others dress down? * How can I survive a "reorganization?" * What if my boss ignores me? * Do I really have to do the stupid stuff, like filing? * What if I get fired?
