内容简介 Here, finally, is the essential guide for navigating the tumultuous, often exhilarating, and sometimes perplexing job market of the New Economy.
Inspired by the questions and concerns of her millions of readers and fans, Anne Fisher, author of Fortune magazine's immensely popular column "Ask Annie," has woven together the advice and expertise of countless professionals (along with the personal stories of both entry- and upper-level employees) into a comprehensive career guide. "Annie" uses her sassy, engaging, and funny voice to take you from your first job out of school to the big corner office.
If My Career's on the Fast Track, Where Do I Get a Road Map? offers unique advice on:what to do after graduation how to move your career ahead dealing with toxic colleagues failing or being fired, and how to bounce back useful tips for new and seasoned managers
Fisher also provides an appendix with further sources of information, including websites, books, trade associations, and professional groups, and a detailed index that allows you to quickly zero in on the answers to your particular concerns.
Along the way, Fisher addresses such issues as figuring out what you really want from your career and your life; asking for a raise or a promotion (but only if you know you really deserve one -- and how to tell whether you do); identifying skeletons in the closet; getting an MBA -- and whether you really need one; working from home; networking (even if you're shy or if it feels "fake"); dealing with stress; knowing when it's time to move on to your next job -- or your new career; and knowing how to hire the best and the brightest (and how to keep them!).
Fisher shares fresh and surprising insights into how technology and the internet have shaped your role as an employee and offers tips on how to use the Web to get a job that's really right for you.
If My Career's on the Fast Track, Where Do I Get a Road Map? is full of levelheaded advice that will help and reassure anyone who wants to get ahead in his or her career and have some real fun with it, too.

专业书评 From Library JournalFisher (Wall Street Women) is a career advice columnist for Fortune magazine who also maintains a popular web site, www.askannie.com. Like Fisher's columns, this book is written for college graduates who are on the corporate executive track. Within this context, Fisher's book covers a wide variety of topics, as the titles of the various chapters indicate (e.g., "So You've Graduated from College. Now All You Need Is...More Advice?"; "Now That You're the Boss"). Fisher frequently cites the readers of her column by reproducing, as sidebars, the questions that they have posed and her responses. Her advice is honest, balanced, and diplomatic throughout, particularly in the section on online job hunting and in the chapter on how to cope with difficult bosses and co-workers. Many readers will appreciate her advice on cubicle etiquette ("Pretend you overhear nothing, ever, in a cubicle or anywhere else"). Fisher's references to dotcoms and the ongoing labor shortage make the book current but may also date it rather quickly; however, the extensive appendix, which lists the print resources to which she refers and annotates the electronic ones, is valuable in and of itself. Suitable for career collections in public and academic libraries but also for career counseling centers. Cheryl Van Til, Kent Dist. Lib., Grand Rapids, MI

From Booklist Fisher writes a regular career advice column called "Ask Annie" for Fortune, and her own Web site attracts seven million page views each month. She admits to not being a "career expert"; instead, she claims to be a "pretty good reporter" who knows how to listen. The guidance she dispenses comes from conversations with hundreds of consultants, coaches, lawyers, executives, recruiters, managers, and other experts she has interviewed for her columns. Her advice is sensible, savvy, and hip. Fisher covers job-hunting for the new graduate; how to get ahead once a job is landed; how to deal with office politics ("difficult bosses, toxic coworkers, and other irritants"); how to handle the complications of success and failure (stress, lay offs, etc.); and how to make the transition to being boss. She includes many of the questions she has received along with the answers she provided. An appendix has a bibliography and a list of Web sites that will be invaluable to any librarian responsible for building collections or maintaining Web pages. David Rouse
