The Employee's Mentor: Your Concise Practical Guide to Work Success, or Making Your Job Work for You
"The Employee's Mentor is one of those ideas that seem obvious. Then, you look at the marketplace of books and college curriculum and there is only scattered attention to priming an employee with key, succinct strategies for successful employment. LaPalme targets his book at the entering cadre of potential employees; those students near or just completing graduation. Interestingly, he adroitly mixes both technical truisms about things like appearance and presentation with understanding the emotional realities of the new job seeker. I found the book to be an important reminder of the essential behavior that can elevate a career. Issues like conflict management, organizational change and independent contractor status are carefully woven into LaPalme's messaging. Both new and mature employees will benefit from Richard LaPalme's book. No doubt you will find yourself referring to it many times throughout your career.
