Introduction

(

A useful and fun book for any woman who has ever wanted, needed, lost, quit, hated, or loved a job. ?Working Girl? (a.k.a. Karen Burns) has held a total of 59 jobs (so far), including housekeeper, cigarette girl, paper ?boy?, model, ditch-digger, bank teller, editor, brochure writer, artist, and corporate drone. She made mistakes along the way, but extracted one important lesson from each job she has held. Working Girl now shares her hard-earned wisdom for the modern working woman with this series of 59 humorous yet practical vignettes, including guidance on:

? Risk-taking and why it's good
? How to build self-confidence
? Tips for managing your boss
? When you?re not appreciated
? Causes and cures for burnout
? Balancing baby and boss
? When it's time to say adieu
and 52 more!

Whimsically illustrated with Working Girl cartoons, this is a fun, accessible advice book that deals with the real issues that are on the minds of working women (and not just those who are striving for the corner office!). No matter where a girl finds herself on the job ladder (from the bottom to the top), she?ll find that The Amazing Adventures of Working Girl will give her both perspective and a plan for success.
