Free download - Surviving the Corporate Environment in the 21st Century
A newly found friend of mine, David, has published a book about worklife changes and how to survive in the corporate world in the 21st century. Okay, it talks from a US point of view, but I believe there is something that applies to Asia as well.
It is free as download until the first of March. So download "Danger! Quicksand" and distribute it to your friends.
David also blogs at Ripples.
Honestly, I haven't read the book yet, but flipped through it. I am flying to Hong Kong for a week, and hope to find time to read it on my PDA while on the plane. However, I flipped through the introduction and what I read was very appealing!
And David writes:
"Danger Quicksand - Have A Nice Day offers advice you will not find in the usual job-hunter's bible.
Traditional career books seeme to operate on the basis that you can find a pony in your workspace if you shovel enough horsepoop away. You've heard the old story of hoping against hope, "I'll just keep on shoveling. There must be a pony in here someplace."
I have a different viewpoint, based on many years of earnest and hopeful observation. If they want you to have a pony, they will hand you the reins when you join up. As a result, I have assembled in this book the key strategies you should employ to ensure that you get the job and the pony you deserve, and what to do if things are not working out."
So enjoy and tell me (and him) what you think!
