It is Thursday, Whom You Know readers, and we are guessing you have had enough! Tomorrow is Friday, but until then, we think this book will serve you well and it also makes an excellent gift. Welcome to The Little Brown Book of Corporate Advancement! Packed with tips and tricks the person in the next cubicle doesn't know, this is your guide to getting that corner office!  Learn how to get ahead without revealing yourself to your colleagues as a grasping little toad. Take a frank look at what the employee handbook won't tell you. It covers getting that job, analyzing the competition (Tattletales, Eager Beavers, etc.), dissecting those bosses (the Ogre, the Good Parent, the Pal, etc.), dealing with gatekeepers (IT Guy, the Lifer, etc.), business books, vocabulary, travel tips, office sports, etiquette, on-the-job partying, ethics, exit interviews, and much, much more! The perfect gift book for your favorite brown-noser!  176 pages. Compact size (4-1/4" wide x 5-3/4" high) fits discreetly in your pocket. Book lies flat for ease of use.

Another winner of theirs packed with excellent advice, Whom You Know had our Manhattan business titans take a look at this book:


The Brown Book Corporate Advancement is the book to teach you all the tips and tricks you need at work. This is a great gift for those who just started a job or who have been working for a while and need some pointers. It's cute and small enough to keep handy at your desk without being obvious. I love how it teaches you how to get ahead without revealing yourself to your colleagues. This book is a guide that teaches you things that you wouldn't learn on the job. You will get ahead at work and shock all those around you! The book isn't a long read. It's short, simple, to the point and FUN! I love that some of the tips that are provided are obvious day to day ones that you wouldn't really think of twice if it wasn't for the book pointing the out. I'm pretty sure that I'll be ahead of the game now thanks to the help of this book. 

It's a new age now, and those of us who are looking for a job or just trying to hold onto the job we have, are finding that we need that extra edge over everyone else.  The Peter Pauper Press's The Little Brown Book of Corporate Advancement: The Employee Handbook for Brown-Nosing Your Way to the Top, by Nicholas Noyes, is the book to assist you in that quest and should be studied from cover to cover. Being someone who hasn't picked up a career handbook since college graduation many years ago, actually, to be honest, since before this internet age, this book is required reading that brings all of us up to speed with the current times.

This book covers various topics such as how to get the job (the first kiss-up), understanding the different types of coworkers and bosses out there, how to break the ice, the importance of being nice to the gatekeepers, and more.  In reading this book I marvel at how much the corporate culture has changed over the last 10-15 years with all the new advances, however, the underlying principles that govern the workplace remain the same.  It's a matter of not letting these new advances and any unfamiliarity with them trip you up as you ascend the corporate ladder.  This book identifies landmines along the way for you-so helpful!
