Book Reviews of Sink or Swim!: New Job. New Boss. 12 Weeks to Get It Right.
Book Review: Excellent guide for earning respect in any job...
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is awesome and very readable. Being so clearly written and straight to the point, it makes for a quick read and serves as a great reference.
While geared towards a business environment, the survival guide is written from a unique perspective which gives deep insight into the psychology of managers and coworkers.
I truly wish I had "Sink or Swim" for my first job. That would have helped me to avoid so many small mistakes which I was totaly oblivious to. It's just jam packed full of useful tips which coworkers usually won't tell you.
Even after two years in my current position, I found that reading this book gave ideas to naturally improve my professional image without any major effort or changes!
Definitely recommended for any professional employee - regardless of rank.
