There is no question that employees must demonstrate occupational or technical skills on the job. However, the most effective workers possess something more. In her practical and entertaining book, Marcia Hall describes the qualities people at any stage of their career must display to succeed in the workplace. These qualities, or personal attributes, are universal and characteristics that all employers look for. In Jumpstart Your Job, Marcia explains how a person's everyday behavior creates a positive or negative impression in the eyes of other people. This becomes what a person is known for, or his/her reputation. In short, easy-to-read chapters with action steps, 12 Simple Ways are described to help readers learn behaviors their bosses really want. Employers and young professionals from large and small companies offer insights about what is important in the workplace, how workers can fit into the job culture, and what common mistakes should be avoided. Award-winning author Marcia Hall is the founder of Reputation COUNTS and former executive director of a leading chamber of commerce in Maryland. She has worked with employers for more than 25 years and presents workshops about building an outstanding reputation and effective networking.
