From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together

The definitive career guide for grad students, adjuncts, post-docs and anyone else eager to get tenure or turn their Ph.D. into their ideal job Each year tens of thousands of students will, after years of hard work and enormous amounts of money, earn their Ph.D. And each year only a small percentage of them will land a job that justifies and rewards their investment.

This is a short, concise book that will quickly spell out the steps you need to take to write a solid, well-thought out cover letter." -Rebecca "This book was a a major benefit to my post-grad job search. I was struggling to portray some past experience to potential recruiters. I was hardly getting noticed and unable to land interviews; I was just another piece of paper in the deck. Jeremy's beneficial insight to the cover letter was against my traditional understanding. His direct nature and step by step guidance proved to be beneficial in my search. I was able to go through the book and develop a brand new cover letter from scratch in less than an hour. Given the price of the book and the time it takes to go through, there is absolutely no excuse why you shouldn't buy it right now and start fresh in conveying your background to your next employer." -LJ "If you, like me, hate writing cover letters, then this book is for you. Before reading this book, I was not even using cover letters because I thought they didn't matter, and I didn't know what to say. I just sent as many resumes as possible to as many job postings as possible. This book changed my life. It convinced me, no doubt one of the most shameless no-cover-letter resume spammers out there, to stop and write a cover letter. Plus Schifeling lays out a series of clear quick steps that make it easy and anxiety free." -Jane E Nevins What you'll get... -A sample cover letter using the exact same approach that the author and hundreds of others have used to land jobs from Amazon to Zynga -A cover letter template that's broken down into step-by-step chunks, making it easy to apply to your own application -The definitive cover letter format that recruiters and hiring managers prefer, based on actual recruiting and hiring experience
