I love this book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I love this book. Caitlin and Kim have lived what they write about. Their style is engaging and motivating, not stuffy and overbearing as in some self-help books. The examples they provide cover a wide range of situations--a variety of professional, financial, social and personal goals, a mix of ages and experiences, successes and failures. The authors also explore topics some other books tip-toe past--tears at work, PMS, 'family comes first'--and how other women have dealt with these in their professional life. Read the book. For sure, you'll get information and insights you'll want to use in your own career.
Very inspiring and helpful information!

Reading this book has opened my eyes to my full potential. Plus, it's great to see that success can still be found even after mistakes occur. Caitlin and Kim have really been there and gone through these experiences and they want to see women succeed in the workplace. They're great female role models and I think any girl, whether she is just getting out of college, is finding herself in a rut, or is enjoying climbing the corporate ladder, can benefit from this book. Inspirational stories and helpful tips to help all of us get ahead. So, come on, isn't it time to kick your career into gear? Of course it is-and this book can help!
Read this book if you're in the career doldrums
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Great advice, quick to read and digest, excellent self-help tools supported by real-life stories and vignettes. The book is well-organized, with lots of lists and examples. The index is sufficiently detailed so that topics of special interest can be easily located in the text. A must-read for women sitting on the fence about making a career change. The authors convincingly demonstrate that if you know what you want, you can make it happen. And if you don't know what you want, they'll walk you through the process of self-assessment, goal setting and using your personal resources effectively.
Something for everyone...

What I like best about this book is it's not just the opinion of the authors. It contains the stories and advice from many different women in many different kinds of careers. If you don't have the kind of confidence the authors seem to, there are stories of people more like you - who were hesitant at first to take charge of their careers then figured out they had to and figured out the best way to do it in their situation. Maybe nobody is truly happy in their job, but if you want to get closer to it, if you want to feel like you're getting where your talent and hard work should take you, there's something in this book that can help you get there.
