Summary: AN EXCELLENT GUIDE FOR THE AMBITIOUS AT ANY CAREER STAGE.
Review: Drawing from interviews and research, the author shows how to utilize your most promotable skills, manage perceptions of colleagues and supervisors, avoid promotion killers, and utilize the appraisal process to advance yourself. Chambers outlines some of the most crucial promotional realities in today's workplace. He shows how to converge three pathways to promotion: (1) sharpening skills, abilities and willingness; (2) achieving visibility and positive perceptions of you; and (3) taking advantage of opportunities within the organization. An excellent guide for the ambitious at any career stage. Reviewed by Gerry Stern, founder, Stern & Associates and the Business InfoCenter, author of Stern's Sourcefinder: The Master Directory to HR and Business Management Information & Resources, Stern's CyberSpace SourceFinder, and Stern's Compensation and Benefits SourceFinder.

Summary: Terrific book
Review: Harry Chambers has written a book that really says something. You're carer will get a big boost if you follow his guidelines. Yes, I've read a lot of these self-help get-ahead books, but this one cuts to the chase with the correct advice.

Summary: A Positive Outlook on the Career Advancement
Review: I loved this book's positive outlook on getting promoted. It focuses on finding ways to motivate yourself and to improve yourself so that you are more productive. While the author acknowledges that other factors besides merit play a roll in getting a promotion, he encourages readers to focus on doing their jobs better. I believe this is ultimately the best approach because if you try to get promoted by unethical means, it is easy to be exposed. This book is about being ethical and succeeding by doing things that you?re proud to stand behind. I find this book to be good motivation to examine areas in which I could improve at work and to take action.
