A MUST have for anyone entering Corporate America

Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2006

Verified Purchase

This is a great resource for anyone entering Corporate America. If you've worked in an organization in a non-professional position and think you know Corporate America--YOU DON'T. One might think the information is 'common sense', but too often we don't use common sense until someone makes the 'light bulb' go off. Alexandra does this beautifully! I highly recommend this book for any new grad. The examples are great and can apply to almost any corporate situation. For example, in my current role, as a new employee, other staff would constantly ask me to do task that was NOT my responsibility. Rather than say, NO, I said, I'm not sure if I handle that, you might want to ask my supervisor! This was GREAT advice! They were clearly trying to take advantage of me because I was new. (I was alarmed because they took me out to lunch, drilled me for information on my background, and asked me the same question 3 times, 3 different ways) Can you imagine what else they would have thrown at me had I said, sure, I'll do it? That might not sound too exciting, but trust me...as a new grad, in your first position, you are soooo eager to please everyone and show that you are a hardworker--you'll find yourself doing your work and everyone else's. Now those same co-workers ask for my help, and not try to insist that it's my job to do it. This way, I have the option of taking on extra work or not. With all that said, go ahead and invest in your corporate career--purchase the book!

A little old fashioned

Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2021

Verified Purchase

I had to buy this for a career's class. I believe it only applies to specific career paths. My class is another b.s. filler for my university.

There's solid advice for people in their twenties. For someone who is in their early thirties and has a job history it's common knowledge.

helps idealistic, motivated people to feel better about the real job world

Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2013

Verified Purchase

A lot of idealistic people go into work very motivated and then are sad to find they are often bored, are asked to do boring things, and their effort is not rewarded. They can start stewing about the company or corporate world in general.

This book helps to break it down and show the issues from the managers' perspectives, so that it's clear it's not personal, and people can relax and focus on what's important and not get so offended or demoralized by the way things work.

Really helped me to enjoy my job more and realize that everything might be more ok than I thought, and warn me not to do some things I'd been doing, and to do more of certain things that would actually help me.

Absolute must read for college students and twenty somethings

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2012

Verified Purchase

I wish that this book had been required reading in one of my courses in college. Alexandra does a fantastic job of asking you the right questions to get you thinking. I especially liked the section entitled: "The Self-Assessment Journey." She also gives a lot of real world examples of what steps you can take to make better decisions such as setting up informational interviews with alumni through your career center. This is one of my favorite books that I would recommend to absolutely everyone!

Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2010

most of this book is common sense but it really sums it all up in 1 convenient place. Most person is going to know more then half the topics in the book but the other half can really help you along. I'm 26 and i wish i would have read this when i was in college. Get this for anybody in there senior year of college i highly recommend it. it transcends many degrees and professions.

It has a wealth of information - it doesn't have to be read like a typical book

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2015

Verified Purchase

A professor of mine used this book in my business law class (I am a returning student) and I bought the book for both my sons who are graduating college this year. It has a wealth of information - it doesn't have to be read like a typical book, but can be used to look up situations to get ideas how to best handle them. Wish I had it years ago!
