Publisher description
As college students near graduation, they often have many concerns about getting a job. They may wonder, Will I fit in? How should I act? What do employers really want? Academics are not enough. Employers want more than just what's on a résumé. Marcia Hall, in her practical and entertaining book, describes the skills students need beyond academics and college degrees to succeed in the workplace. These skills, or personal attributes, are universal and qualities that all employers look for. They are often not covered in college. In Navigating Newbie-ism, 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. College students will learn the value of practicing behaviors that employers really want - the 12 Simple Ways - while they are still in school so they have the tools to build a stellar reputation on the job. Knowing these skills helps students transition more easily from college to the workplace and reduces the stress of being the "newbie." This book helps students learn to navigate "newbie-ism" - the state of being new on the job and wondering how to impress employers, fit in and get ahead. Young professionals and employers from large and small companies offer insights about what is important in the workplace, helping students gain a competitive edge in their first jobs and careers. Author Marcia Hall, founder of Reputation Counts, has worked with employers for more than 25 years, particularly in her role as executive director of the West Anne Arundel County Chamber of Commerce in Maryland. She has written articles for several publications, including monthly newspaper business columns, and has presented workshops about networking and personal attributes that employers really want
