Editormum | Oct 6, 2012 |    Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. checkerdandy | Jun 30, 2011 | urduha | May 20, 2010 | Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.This is an Early Reviewer copy that I received from LibraryThing. The book is divided into sections that each address certain aspects of work life, some that fall by the wayside if an employee is inexperienced or shy when it comes to asking for what they deserve. The book has a flow, making it easy to read and includes several visual aids, from appearance to how to ask for a raise. Interestingly Williams' no non-nonsense advice can be applied to both the workplace and in relationships for a variety of situations. For example, Williams writes on loyalty, how it's important to reward it, that trust be earned through action and to believe in your instincts, all qualities that can apply to both. Williams made the read enjoyable by peppering the book with humour, separating it from other career success books that can often read more like wheat germ. One drawback I did find was that the guide seems tailor-made for a very specific job type, such as a media/PR person. I'm not sure how this advice would work outside the corporate world. As well, some of the advide seemed more common sense than anything, telling the reader things they would already know. (  ) theduckthief | Apr 3, 2010 | Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.This book has a very casual, open tone - like you'd expect from an over-confident girlfriend. The advice ranged from really sharp, to sad-but-true, to (unapologetically) offensive. My biggest critique of the book though, is it could have been truer to its title. Sometimes it was advice from your dating life, insufficiently tied to your career. Sometimes it was advice for your career insufficiently linked to your dating life. Sometimes I wasn't even sure how the advice tied to anything -- it was just plain career or dating advice. Maybe it was churned out a little to hastily for its deadline, or maybe the editor could have spent a bit more time helping to tighten it up. To be fair, it was never going to be a masterpiece, but I think it could have been more focused. I would have liked to see a bit more care on this one. I think it could have been "Jen Lancaster, give us your best career advice", but it failed to hit the mark. 3 stars, which may be a bit generous.

The basic premise of “Girl on Top” is that “The Rules” (a popular guide to dating success) can be translated to apply to career management, providing just as much success in the field of business as the original book did in the realm of relationships. Williams covers twenty rules --- including “follow your heart,” “don’t bash your ex,” don’t waste the pretty,” and “be willing to walk away” --- explaining exactly how each rule should be applied in the corporate arena. Williams illustrates her points with interesting anecdotes, sometimes pointed, sometimes humorous, always highly relevant. And throughout the book are “Tricks of the Trade,” little tidbits of common-sense advice centered upon the theme of the section.
Overall, the advice is good and there's a lot of real substance to the recommendations. I just wish the packaging had been a little more polished. (
