Brazen Careerist Book

Jibber Jobber Review

Jason von Alba at JibberJobber.com reviews Penelope Trunk's new book and provides links to other reviews.

von Alba's review is well written but quirky in the way it moves in for the attack and then cancels it every time.

this book is a must read. I found myself shaking my head a number of times saying “no way, it’s not like that” only to give in and agree with her.... Like me, you’ll probably shake your head as much as you nod your head as you read this, but you can’t really argue with much of the stuff that’s in here.

One has to wonder what issues he struggled with because he doesn't say. So, listen here, von Alba, when my book comes out (Don't Call Us, We'll Call You: Job-Hunting For the Mediocre) I want you to say what you don't like in the most blunt, straightforward manner.

1. I write quirky because, well, I am quirky.

2. It is a must read. And I was nodding and shaking my head equally.

3. The shaking was for "no, it couldn't, it shouldn't be that way" and the nodding was, yes, it really is that way.

The book is typical-Penelope - thought provoking, over the edge stuff that the Yahoolagins will flame her for, but she is brazen, and she calls it like she sees it. My thoughts are that you need to read this book, even if you don't agree with it, it will help you understand your coworkers (assuming they are GenY) or customers, etc.

Send me your book, I'd love to read it and if you want (and if I remember) I'll list all the things I don't like :p
