Great book for anyone just coming out of college or anyone coming out of a non-corporate work setting into corporate life. The "Twenty-Something" in the title is not applicable as this book is useful for all ages. The advice given in this little book will save you some headaches and anxieties -- think of it as somewhat of a playbook for navigating the corporate game. Easy to read and understand, casual yet straightforward writing. We require all interns at my job to read this and it is my gift o...more
This book is useful for someone stepping into the corporate world. Intended for college grads I find that it's suitable for anyone. I wished more colleges would adopt it into their curriculum.
Good introduction to how to behave when you start a job out of college, probably saved my butt a few times from completely embarassing myself.
It was a really good book; unfortunately not very applicable to my current position. But I would definitely recommend it for anyone in the first several years of their career!
Great resource, surprisingly entertaining read. Clean prose appropriate for an educational text.
A clear guide to getting started in the world of business. This book covers everything from how to find a job to how to leave if you find you don't like where you are, going via communication skills and how to delegate work.
The style is clear and the book includes comments people have made about their own experiences which nicely illustrate the points.

This is a book that every college graduate should read.
A halfway decent book with a couple moments of sage corporate wisdom. However allot of the advice was clearly intended for someone in an HR-type role and geared more towards a woman's approach than a man's. While not entirely helpful for someone navigating the offshore engineering world, I will definitely use some of the chapters in this book; in particular, the chapter involving salary negotiations.
Decent guide lots of thoughts for job hunting and creating yourself for the job.
A sixth grader could read this book. While that was a nice break from textbooks for me, if I hadn't bought this book for school I would have been disappointed that it didn't tell me anything I didn't already know.
