About this audiobook
Jobs remain the biggest concern among Americans. With a national unemployment rate of 8% and a country graduating classes of young adults facing the toughest jobs market in half a century, Americans are confronted with a host of questions about their future. Thats where Betty Liu steps in. It used to be that people received wisdom from their elders and that wisdom worked well in advancing oneself in a largely uniform society. But times have changed and it begs the question: how do you relate to and advance in a workplace thats made up of so many different people and so many different values? Are there certain ways of doing business that are uniform throughout? This award-winning journalist asks the tough questions of those whove been there and succeeded to give readers the best opportunity at job success. Interviewing the likes of Mickey Drexler, Ellen DeGeneres, Twitters Jack Dorsey, Yahoos Marissa Mayer, Elon Musk, Starbucks Howard Schultz, Indra Nooyi, and Sheryl Sandberg among many others, the book will include the answers to the following questions: How do you network? How do you connect to your boss? When is there a right time to say no? How do I bounce back from a firing or a layoff? Why is being good at your job just not enough?
