From Library Journal
Viscusi, the "Ann Landers" for the workplace, offers advice for dealing with the exigencies of the workaday world. The head of an executive search firm, he is best known for his radio show of the same name, which deals with workplace issues. While employers often focus on whether or not a person is capable of doing the job, almost as important is whether a person will do the job and fit in as well. There is a fine line, for example, between asking enough relevant questions and asking too many questions. On the Job offers newcomers to the world of employment a primer for dealing with their current workplaces as well as larger career issues. The book deals with practical measures and will be of use to most people just starting their working careers. Recommended for general collections.

From Booklist
Viscusi heads one of New York City's 10 largest executive search firms and dispenses work and career-related advice as host of "On the Job," a nationally syndicated radio call-in program. He now summarizes the insights he has gleaned and the advice he has proffered after interviewing thousands of job candidates and talking with his radio listeners. He suggests that our "work-life puzzle" can be broken down into seven primary pieces. First, he emphasizes that "your career is whatever job you hold today." Second, work can be unfair, so "get over it!" Third, keep work and personal lives separate. In turn, he then looks at workplace relationships, communication, and advancement and career planning. Throughout, he uses highlighted boxes to illustrate both positive ("way to go") and negative ("wrong turn") examples and to summarize key points. Always focusing on practical matters, Viscusi repeatedly emphasizes that if one masters the job, a career will follow. David Rouse
