The Unspoken Rules

Secrets to Starting Your Career Off Right

De: Gorick Ng

Narrado por: Kyle Tait

What will separate you from the rest early in your career? The ability to take ownership, manage expectations, navigate people dynamics, and communicate professionally - skills that school doesn't teach.

Most career guides assume that you already know how the working world works. But if you're starting your very first job or taking a job in a new company, you might not know all the unspoken rules that determine who gets ahead and who doesn't. In The Unspoken Rules, you'll learn the basic workplace skills necessary for success.

From the author: "Over the last four years, I've interviewed over 500 interns, early career professionals, managers, and executives.... My conversations revolved around three key topics:

• What are the most common mistakes early-career professionals make at work?
• What would you do differently if you could relive your first years on the job?
• What do you think separates top performers from mediocre ones?

After testing the advice I gathered from these hundreds of interviews, I started coaching other early-career professionals. Now I'm distilling everything I've learned into a step-by-step guide called The Unspoken Rules."

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Informative

I found this book very helpful as I emerge into a more corporate career. While I am not specifically in the corporate world, the unspoken rules taught in the book are applicable and useful in my current career path.

EVERY SINGLE THING HE SAYS IS CORRECT AND IMPORTANT

I wish I listened to this book at the start of my career, but better late than never.

Everything a young professional needs to know (and otherwise would spend 5 years learning)

The title says it all. As I listened to this book, time and time again I thought to myself, “I wish I had this book 10 years ago when I started my career”. There are so many valuable insights that young professionals have to pick up implicitly or passively, and may not pick up until they’ve already lost valuable opportunities and significant career momentum. I am going to be sharing this with all of my students and recommending it for years to come.

Career accelerator (if applied)

I highly recommend the book to anyone who searches for ways to accelerate their career

Valuable and honest perspective

This book is structured well and provides valuable insights. Also, I feel self-reflection is critical to growth. The thought exercises provided will help make self-reflection more productive as it guides you to action. Well done!
