Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's ultracompetitive workplace, as Robert L. Dilenschneider explains in this invaluable book, success will depend on one thing only: learning the ropes of the working world -- and figuring out how to be happy within it -- during the first fourteen years of one's professional life. Why fourteen years? If a person does not fit in once he or she approaches the mid to late thirties, they're liable to be considered "work illiterate", and their opportunities will be limited accordingly. Based on personal experience, interviews with experts, and extensive research, The Critical 14 Years of Your Professional Life tells how to make tough decisions and what questions to ask to avoid traditional pitfalls, whether one is a Wall Street wannabe, aspiring systems analyst, retail clerk, or budding entrepreneur.
