Helpful tips

I experimented the tips in this book in an interview and it got me the job. Very good book.

Other comments are welcome

I bought this book a couple of weeks ago. Haven;t got a chance to read it all but the chapter on "bosses" seems to be useful

Practical and thorough

Extraordinarily useful for those interested in becoming successful "office politicians. In contrast to other similar books, Griffin spends little time justifying moral dilemmas and gets straight to the useful stuff- specific examples of how to present yourself, buttering up coworkers, keywords to incorporate in your speech, practicing smalltalk, office romance, and many other practical situations. In the effective "Unofficial Guide to.." style, each chapter is preceded by what you will learn in that chapter, as well as useful sidebar suggestions, and to top it off, a useful appendix section with suggested further readings and laws for sexual harassment. A terrific all-around guide, and probably the most up-to-date of any on the market- can't recommend it enough.
