Book Description
The notion that one can work in a single company or job for an extended period of time has changed. Companies are in need of talent. People are in search of jobs and just "the right position" for themselves. How do we find that perfect match? In years past, one might pivot once, perhaps even twice over the course of their career. Today, a person may need to pivot multiple times. Can a business adapt to the amount of change their employees may need to make over the course of their lifetime? Will an individual want to or be prepared to change jobs on an ongoing basis throughout their career? Sometimes, there is a need to pivot. Can the pivot be made, smoothly? Finding starting points for these conversations can be challenging. Is it a pivot or is it a career change? Both are acceptable. Pivots, if planned, can be easier to navigate. Career changes require more preparation. Either way, fluctuations can be daunting, for both the individual and the organizations they work for, especially when there is a lack of clarity in managing the complexities of skills, career aspirations, and interests. Having meaningful conversations that gather personal insights and reveal options either before or when it is time to initiate career exploration can ease the transition. This book captures the insights the author has gained through her career and provides the valuable lessons learned from reviewing resumes, interviewing, and coaching those early in their careers, starting new careers, or in the midst of career transitions. The author also shares her personal experience with career exploration and navigating change.

Book Description
From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together

Book Description
How one is perceived impacts her ability to be successful. And success in corporate America is the goal. If Cubicles Could Talk Conversation for the Female New Hire in Corporate America helps the corporate professional avoid the office "clatter chatter" that goes a little like this: "Can you believe she's actually wearing that outfit to work?!*" "Could she have been more drunk at the boss's party?" "Somebody needs to say something to her about her body odor." "I can't believe she was polishing her nails at her desk!" "What's up with her always on the phone with her boyfriend?" "Why does she have such an attitude?" "Why does she act so helpless? Doesn't she get it?" Most corporate professionals have heard, made, thought or heard other people think at least one of those comments about someone in the office. Or worse, some corporate professionals believe one of those comments could have been made, heard, or thought about them! The point: perception is reality. The way a corporate professional behaves at work determines how she is perceived and her perception impacts her success.
