Help! Was That a Career Limiting Move is not a story book. The work is divided into ten general areas consisting of one to three page chapters covering a melange of topics. Interpersonal Communication has twenty two proposals for how to accomplish more successful communication skills. ‘Come Again,’ ‘But on the other hand,’ and ‘Don’t let the door hit you on the way out’ are eye catching titles and descriptive quick reads. Know your Business offers titles such as, ‘Will they like me,’ ‘Don’t get trampled in the most pit,’ and ‘The "write" stuff.’ ‘Don’t straddle the fence,’ presents a worthy argument for comprehending the fine line between diplomacy and perhaps presenting oneself as vacant of self-reliant, sagacious thought.

There are times when we each need to voice our own notions. Oh, Behave! Is a section of thirteen snippets meant to shepherd the reader into judicious conduct in a variance of settings. ‘Don’t put your elbows on the table!,’ ‘What’s in a name? Plenty!,’ and ‘Make the most of meetings’ are titles designed to draw the reader to a particular info bite. ‘A touchy subject’ offers a three page debate of office romance and possible drawbacks to entering into the situation. Professional Presence offers the reader advantageous wisdom covering a medley of topics. ‘Read my lips …. And other rules of good body language,’ ‘That stinks,’ and

‘It’s not easy to love a slob’ will assist reader understanding for how to get along in a crowded office filled with co-workers. ‘What school you went?’ presents a humorous view on a serious subject. Poor grammar and the way language is used and/or abused can make the difference between success and remaining at the bottom of the corporate rung.

Grow Up! Consists of sixteen snippets guiding the reader to an understanding for why certain business practices are in place and what outcome the reader can expect when they are followed or ignored. ‘Make it before you spend it,’ ‘ You want me to do what?!,’ and ‘My bad’ are all absorbing, enlightening short works easily read when you have a moment to spare.

‘The dreaded pink slip,’ presents an assortment of ways the employee may be told they no longer have a job with the company. Included in the short discussion are proposals for dealing with the loss of job, and what to improve/change when beginning to look for another position. It’s all about Character may be the most important part of the work.

‘100% responsibility,’ ‘Diversity is not a spectator sport,’ and ‘Make excellence a personal core value,’ will steers the reader into career building understanding. ‘You gotta deal with it,’ presents the notion that three inevitables we face in life are: death, taxes and change.

Moves, the writers have found in their travels. ‘Be careful with bathroom banter,’ ‘Proper preparation shows you care,’ ‘Habla "Oops?" are filled with useful information. CLMs of the rich and famous round out the work.

Help! Was That a Career Limiting Move is an excellent tool for the beginning, just graduated business enthusiast as well as the ‘old work horse’ who is trying hard to hang onto their job in this ever changing time of downsizing and corporate lay offs. Each of the short one to three page snippets are filled with good advice, what works and what will kill your career type information.

Writing is good, easily read and meant to be perused whenever the reader has a moment to delve into a particular topic or quick read. The format leads readers toward what they need right now, and is not meant to be something for the reader to begin one page one and slough forward to the last page without stopping.

I received a paper copy for review. Excellent tool for every employee or those who hope to become an employee in future. Help! Was That a Career Limiting Move deserves a place on the office library shelf, and in the Senior year homeschool and classroom setting.

Enjoyed the read, happy to recommend. I do not keep all books I receive for review; Help! Was That a Career Limiting Move is a book I am placing on my own office library shelf.
