Wondering how to navigate the new economy? Ask Anne Fisher for the latest directions to a challenging, rewarding career. Every month, hundreds of thousands of Fortune magazine readers turn to Anne... This description may be from another edition of this product.
In this "Survival of the Fittest!" book, author Anne Fisher shares career advice for manuvering through the morass of an ever-changing competitive environment. Choosing the right career, what to do when the "new kid on the block" makes as much money as everyone else, coping with abrasive fellow workers and overbearing bosses, being tenacious and getting that promotion are a few of the areas highlighted in this book. You get what you give! Hard work, focus, and dedication to completing the task at hand leads to success. Success begets success. On the other hand whining begets "you know what"- and the inevitable "pink slip" aka job loss. Read the book and avoid that pink slip!

Finally the inside track

I'm a big fan of the Ask Annie column in Fortune Magazine. But, wow, this book of hers is even better. It covers everything-- from how to get hired to how to fire once you're the boss. But what I really love is her down-to-earth tone: she talks right to you. She is way smart, but very nice about it, and funny, too. If you want the inside track on the job world, this is the book. She knows everything. A fantastic appendix of web sites, articles, you name it.
