A practical guide for those wanting success in their first career:
As a corporate trainer I am often struck by the impact personal reputation makes in the business world. Many people are judged by colleagues, supervisors and clients exclusively through their reputation . . . especially "newbies" entering a new job. In my opinion, managing reputation is critical to success in any career. In her book, Marcia Hall shares some simple ways people can exhibit behaviors employers value. She has written a good practical read . . . not only for "newbies" but for anyone wishing to take charge of how they are perceived in the workplace.

A Must Read For Every Newbie!!!!:
"Navigating Newbie-ism: 12 Simple Ways to Thrive in Your First Job and Career" is a must read for all newbies. It is an excellent guide for students who are trying to get their first job as well as those who have just landed their first job, but are looking to make a good first impression. I am an adjunct professor of psychology and I hear over and over how difficult "navigating newbie-ism" can be and how excellent grades and an impressive academic career are not enough. This book offers easy-to-follow tips and techniques for securing that first job and developing the behaviors that employers look for and value.
