Good advice conveniently arranged in terms of critical moments: when you first meet your prospective boss, when you get fired, when you get promoted, and more. The advice is pretty straightforward but you'll find some tips here that you won't find elsewhere. On the "getting fired" chapter the author includes some risky options. They're rarely discussed but they will make sense to some readers. She also includes a story of a lucky person who found a job right after being fired; we've all heard those stories. which are inspirational and rare. Sections on dealing with ethical challenges and getting recognized for excellence are especially valuable. The conflict chapter is probably the least helpful, probably because there's no easy way to handle conflict and one size doesn't fit all. I agree with her assessment: deal with it sooner rather than later. This book would be handy to keep even if you don't anticipate dealing with a particular situation described in this book. The author communicates a proactive attitude toward careers that's valuable to anyone. Additionally, knowing what you will do in a crisis often makes the crisis less likely to happen. Good things tend to happen to confident people.
