About this book

The creator of the award-winning blog Lost GenY Girl offers a business success guide aimed directly at college grads new to office life.
Welcome to the corporate world, where things aren't fair, some people are mean, and if you want to succeed, your boss has to like you. In Corporate Survival Guide for Your Twenties, Kayla Buell helps you prepare for the challenges and opportunities you'll encounter as you leave college life behind and enter the work force.
Navigating a corporate working world filled with pitfalls and traps is not easy – there's no app for that. Should you speak up in meetings? Should you stay quiet? Should you eat at your desk? What should you wear? And what do you do when someone blasts you via e-mail? In Corporate Survival Guide for Your Twenties, Buell helps the early career professionals get their kick-ass career running!
