Book Overview
No amount of career counseling is going to help you figure out how to get a coworker to quit snooping through your e-mail, how to deal with an underground romance that has accidentally become public knowledge, or how to regroup and save face after a disastrous client meeting. Finally, here's a book that explains how the world of work really operates, and how to navigate it. On the Job combines the hard-hitting advice of Stephen Viscusi, one of today's best-known experts on job-related problems, with enlightening "this could happen to you" scenarios and true-life stories. In this manual for every kind of on-the-job predicament, Viscusi provides strategies for: * Keeping your balance and sanity in an unpredictable and frequently unfair world * Establishing an identity that reflects your skills and goals - but not your most intimate secrets * Communicating effectively in every venue, from meetings to e-mails to gossip Whether you're starting out on your first job or you've been at it for twenty years, On the Job is the only book about working you'll ever need.

Viscusi knows the way of the workplace, and his advice is always insightful and to the point. There are great strategies here for how to think about your work life (and he convinces it is a work life, separate from your other life), so that you're sane both on and off the job, and so that you're positioned to make the most of job/career every day. A must-have for anyone starting a new job, whether entering work for the first time or re-entering after change of career or time off.

The best career coach $... can buy. A great read w/ captivating side bars. Never got boring. I'm buying them for everyone who is graduating from college, and graduate school. As important as "What Color Is My Parachute" was at its time.
