Grab Instantly The New Rules Of Work: The Ultimate Career Guide For The Modern Workplace Outlined By Kathryn Minshew Published As Interactive EBook

this book seems to be a little late to the game, This advice is all valid still, but would seem to be more valuable aboutoryears ago, It sounds very familiar to me since i just went through a job change, But a lot of this I already knew, and then I had a job transition team to work with that filled in some of the rest.
There haven't been career workers in the lastyears, so some of the advice and explanation seems dated in that sense.

However, everything in the book is still good for workers of a certain age, I imagine young workers entering the workforce from college don't even know how the old rules of work , worked I received an Advanced Reading Copy via Goodreads giveaways.


This book will change your mindset towards your career, Perfect gift book for new graduates entering the working world and a refreshing read for those of us in the midst of navigating our current careers.


Every chapter presents a shift in the old ways of thinking about your career, The authors provide you with "The New Rules" and guide you stepbystep through the process of finding your pathwith plenty of tips along the way.
If you feel stuck in your job, learning these new rules may be exactly what you need to break out and find the next chapter of your career.


The book is structured into three parts: Part One is on figuring out where you want your career to go creating a matrix of possibilities Part Two tackles the art of making the move to a new job job search, interviewing, negotiations and Part Three looks at strategies for navigating your way in your current job communication, building skills.
One of the most comprehensive guides to finding and getting the job that's right for you I've ever come across.
Perfect for those who are leaving school and looking for their first job but also useful for those who've been working for a while and want to change direction or get that promotion they've wanted for years.


It's split into three parts, what do I actually want, making your move and charting your course through the modern workplace so you're almost guaranteed to find something useful regardless of where you are in your career.
There's lots of practical advice, templates and resources provided in a very straightforward and readable style and lots of real life examples are given to illustrate the points made.


Personally I'm approaching the mid point in my working life, have been in the same job for overyears and have been feeling like I'm in a bit of a rut.
As I've been thinking about a change I found the first part of the book especially useful as it uses a lot of practical exercises to help you identify what you value most in a job, the skills you have or would need and what kind of function and industry would suit.
Thinking about changing careers is a scary prospect but the authors somehow make it a doable and even exciting prospect.


The "Making Your Move" section is also packed full of useful information from how to network, write a resume and ace an interview to what to do if you're offered the job.
A lot of this was already familiar to me from sitting on both sides of the recruitment process but would be of immense value to those starting out and I did still discover things I didn't know.


The third and final part, Charting Your Course, covers what you should be doing in the workplace when you land that job.
How to communicate effectively, behave at meetings and get the skills and recognition you need to move to where you want to be.
Again there's a lot here that's common sense but would still be useful to those starting out or even just those who aren't sure of etiquette in the modern workplace.


My only real criticism of the book was that sometimes it felt like there was a lot of promotion for the authors' careers website, not that it's a bad website I went on and it's also packed with useful info, it just got a little repetitive.
Also as someone based in the UK I think there may be a few differences between the workplaces and jobs market here than in the states where the authors are based.


Overall definitely worth a read wherever you are in your working life, It certainly gave me the confidence to be more proactive about my career,

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for providing me with an ARC, All views are my own, There's only a few chapters really worth reading, For the rest, it's better to go to their website and read their many great articles, I read the New Rules of Work in the context of a business owner developing an HR department to attract and retain desirable talent.
I wanted to know what employees in the technology age want from their careers, where they are searching for opportunities, and what types of employers they find attractive.
The authors answered all these questions, Therefore, I recommend this book to other entrepreneurs even though we are not the primary intended audience for the book.
My initial inclination was to give this book four because I tend to save mystar ratings for books that really blow me away.
Then, I decided that wasn't really fair because this is a very solid book, and I can't find any fault with it.


Reminiscent of What Color is Your Parachute, The New Rules of Work is all about taking a new approach to how you settle on a career and find a job.
It isn't a quickfix book, and you should be prepared to spend months putting the suggestions from the first chapters into practice.


I'm not looking for a new job and I'm selfemployed

so much of the book didn't apply to me You may be wondering why I read it then quite simply, just about every book I see recommended makes it onto my TBR list.
:. However, the later chapters about productivity and communication did provide some good tips that I can put into practice,

Overall, not the most riveting read but a solid book that I would recommend to anyone looking to change jobs, advance their career or improve their worklife balance.
This is a good book for anyone who is in the process of looking for a new job, changing careers, looking for their first job, or managing people.


I read this after starting a new job, The last sections of the book address what to do after youve landed the job, Some of it was useful to my situation,

I added in that this book is good for those who manage people because it can provide tools to guide conversations about career growth.
Many times, people arent completely sure of what they want to do next or how to get there, Managers often promote based on “hard skills” rather than the bigger picture of if a person has “soft skills”, I put those in quotes because I personally believe that “soft skills” are much harder to learn and take more time vs a “hard skill” that can be taught via a course, videos, etc.
I digress

The chapters lay out how to uncover strengths which are often translatable to different roles but people dont think about it that way.
It also helps identify passion points and areas that maybe someone doesnt actuallly love but didnt realize,

The book comes with a pdf for exercises that Ill definitely use in my next job search and with my reports to help them learn about themselves and help me to know more about them hehe.


Overall, decent book, I read this via audiobook, I found this book super helpful in reframing how I think about my career, Im a firm believer that your job shouldnt define you, but I also know I need to care about what I do and match my career choices to my values and personality.
This book shares that mindset and gives actionable tips to help you explore your options and take more initiative in your career without overpromising.


There were moments that felt unnecessary or too obvious, especially in the workplace communication section, but overall I found the information genuinely useful.
I would actually recommend reading it out of order and focusing only on sections you need, as not everything will apply to you I will also definitely be going back to reference certain sections as needed! An informative, comprehensive guide to navigating the job search and workplace.
While I enjoyed reading about how these modern workplaces operate, I could not really relate since the companies that I have worked for and currently work still operate in the traditional sense.


This is a great read not only for millennials and GenZers but also for Gen Xers who are midcareer and seeking a career change.
It also provided good ideas that could be presented to a traditional workplace in order to bring them into thest century in terms of procedures, technology and employee and customer experience.
For anyone looking for her first job or career, or anyone seeking a new job or career, this book is worth the time and effort to thoroughly peruse.


Styled as a 'playbook', the format is such that first an OLD rule is presented and then a NEW one.
In my opinion, both the old and the new rules are worth some considerable thought, And with each of the ten or so old/new rules, there are lists, charts, summaries, questions, and lots and lots of ideas.
In my opinion, the more time and attention the reader spends on the various topics, the more he or she will profit.
I've already recommended it to someone who is considering a career change!

I won this Uncorrected Proof in a Goodreads giveaway.
