“Whether
you're having a quarterlife crisis or if you just want an
insider's guide to the working world, read this book. Sage
advice from a gifted young writer.”
—Ken Blanchard, coauthor of The One Minute Manager®
and The Leadership Pill
“We've
all been through it—many of us with little guidance.
But Levit writes of the 20-something life in a way that
will help new workers answer questions they don't even know
they have yet. Her straightforward,
practical advice is something that all colleges should recommend
to their outgoing seniors.”
—Amy Joyce, author of I Went to College for This?:
How to Turn Your Job Into a Career You Love
When
straight-A student Alexandra Levit graduated from college,
she was hell-bent on skipping up New York City’s corporate
ladder. But after six months on the job,
Levit was so stressed out that she was ready to ditch Corporate
America completely and head to graduate or law school. Eventually,
by sticking around and paying
attention to the few people around her who weren’t
dropping from stress-induced coronaries, Levit
developed many of the skills crucial to staying sane and
building a career. By her mid-twenties, she had been promoted
four times.
Highlights include:
•
Unorthodox but proven job-hunting techniques.
• Making a memorable first impression.
• Navigating the
company’s social scene.
• Practicing cringe-free networking.
• Mastering goal-setting
and self-promotion.
• Combating negativity.
• Coping with difficult
personalities
• Finding a new position and
gracefully exiting from the old.
