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, hereΓ―ΒΏΒ½s 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 todayΓ―ΒΏΒ½s 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 youΓ―ΒΏΒ½re starting out on your first job or youΓ―ΒΏΒ½ve been at it for twenty years, On the Job is the only book about working youΓ―ΒΏΒ½ll ever need.
