Recommendation
Before Ross McCammon landed his dream job as an editor at Esquire, he suffered through fear and self-doubt about interviewing, dressing for success and fitting in at work. He hilariously recounts his early days as a Texas transplant learning to survive in New York City and offers general career advice. His stories are really very funny, but anyone with a year of office experience will be familiar with much of his advice on how to dress for work, deliver a persuasive handshake, and use email and social media appropriately. Come for the career war stories – which make this one of the funniest business books ever – but only if you don’t find profanity offensive. getAbstract recommends his memoir to those who want a good laugh, and to recent college grads, those starting or restarting on the career ladder, and busy executives who have “made it” but want to polish their etiquette.
