Brazen Careerist

brazen.jpgGlobe columnist Penelope Trunk has a hot new book that lays down the new rules for career success in her always smart, no-nonsense manner. It's a great read and I highly recommend it, along with her blog by the same name. Saying Gen X and Gen Y (today's 18-40 year-olds) are revolutionizing the workplace, Trunk says many old workplace issues are irrelevant because the goal is to create an interesting, challenging life instead of climbing the corporate ladder. Today's careerists hold 8 jobs before the age of 32 and while willing to work hard (as long as it's interesting), they demand flexibiltiy and seek - gasp - happiness. This is not your parent's guidebook. I'm giving it to the college grads and newlyweds in my life.
