5.0 out of 5 stars Great 2nd Edition of this Guide to Success in the Workplace, April 22, 2005

By	Professor Donald Mitchell "Jesus Makes Me a P... (Boston) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER)

Many young people make the mistake of thinking that working at a job is like being a high school or college student . . . nothing matters but the results you turn in. Wrong! Work involves frequent contact with other people. Make those contacts unpleasant for everyone but you, and they will find a way to stop your career (or even cost you your job).

This is the material that every parent has wanted to drum into their children's heads . . . but usually weren't able to succeed in getting across. Ms. Holland and Ms. Brody do a good job of explaining why you need to be considerate and cooperative, and perhaps your socially backward children will listen to them.

Or perhaps you came from a family that is a little rough around the edges socially. This book can clue you in on what's expected in the workplace. Very nice indeed for those who want to improve.

If you don't mind killing your career because other people are offended by you, then you don't need this book. But you should find out how to find the unemployment office . . . you'll probably need to go there eventually.

Having worked with dozens of young people over three decades, I was constantly struck by how few of them made an effort to make life pleasant for their coworkers. Naturally, this wasn't always clear during the interviewing process when everyone is like they are on a date. Then, too late, the bad habits appeared and coworkers were offended to the core . . . so that no one wanted to give the person another chance.

This guide can do more to enhance your career prospects than a college degree summa cum laude can do for most jobs. Read and live this advice . . . and have a chance to succeed.
