Take positive steps to improve a career path

Work's a Bitch and Then You Make It Work: 6 Steps to Go from Pissed Off to Powerful shows how to make the most of feelings of powerless and disillusionment at work, using exercises to help define work arrangements and take positive steps to improve a career path. Aim high and foster new ideas and approaches: that's the message of a business book highly recommended for any business or general lending library.

It's wise, witty and worth every page.

I have read every one of Andrea Kay's books and they just keep getting better. This one captures so much of what is going on in the workplace that is so hard, but with such sensitivity, skill and humor, she helps you see that you can still have a wonderful career despite them. There were so many things in this book that I needed to hear and act on I don't know where to start. She makes it easy for you to take action with pages of practical exercises and tips and lists. When I interviewed recently, I knew exactly what to look for and ask so I didn't get into a bad situation, thanks to the wisdom of Step 5 and Step 4 gave me a plan for knowing how to be ready for whatever comes my way. This book is worth every penny. It's wise, witty and I can't believe how much information is packed into it. I have bought copies for all my friends because we're all in the same leaky boat these days and I don't want to give away my copy.

Finally, there's hope!

I could not put this book down when I started reading it. The author describes exactly how I feel, which is betrayed and angry about so many things that have happened in my career. And that I was not alone. Then, as I read more, I realized I could actually do something about it. I know it may seem impossible to feel that way, but this book has turned on a light bulb for me. For the first time in years, I feel hopeful that I can actually be in more control of my career. I have tried out many of the techniques and tips the author gives and they work! I see why I was ending up in bad companies and with what I read here, I know how to make sure that doesn't happen again. I also learned how to be the one our company will keep (I can greatly improve my odds) if there's a layoff, which these days, is very real. I am not as stressed as I was. This is not your typical how-to book. The author is funny and I feel like she understands me. You have to change the way you see some things. I know so many people who felt like me. I'm buying this book for everyone on my holiday gift list so they can start the year off on the right foot. If you have a career, you need to hear this and do the steps, especially in this economy and the way the workplace is. I feel like I got my soul back from this book. Thank you, Andrea Kay.
