As a recent graduate, you likely have all the intelletual knowledege and skills necessary to thrive in the professional world. But unless you know how to comport yourself in the office environment, there are numerous traps that can ensnare you and shortcircuit yur career. Don't let that happen. Learn about: work habits; how to dress on the job; work etiquette; e-stuff; and how to prepare your resume. Read this book and learn the things you were never taught in college, law school, business school, public policy school, or some other graduate program. Sections of the book address such issues as how to deal with bosses and how to treat secretaries. They advise against becoming too cozy with new office colleagues and to beware of the first person who befriends you in the office. They discuss how to dress professionally including how to make sense of "casual" days. The book addresses office romances, office parties, the sort of disposition good employees display, and how to brief bosses. A chapter provides advice on e-stuff, including the things you should never do on your office computer. The last chapter, a brief two pages, tells every thing you need to know about resume preparation. This book was chosen by Michelle Singletary, Washington Post and nationally syndicated columnist of the Color of Money, as her Color of Money Book of the Month.
