Great Advice for Women of all Colors
Kimberley Lindsay Wilson's book, Work It! The Black Woman's Guide to Success at Work, is a must read for every female high school and college seniors and should be in every library in the country. This small book gets right down to the basics. Your first "real" job can be an eye opener and many women learn the hard way that businesses don't run as smoothly as they do on TV.

Although this book is geared toward African-American women, it is truly a guide for women of all races. Wilson's book provides a set of guidelines that all women need to be aware of and follow almost as closely as they do their Bible.

Wilson offers hard-nosed facts on what the business world is really like. Her chapters include "Getting In," "Getting Over," "Getting Along," and "Getting Out." The chapters are succinct, to the point, and brutally honest.

I am a middle-aged white woman with 20 years of corporate experience and the lessons and tips that Wilson provides are a grand slam.

Work It! The Black Woman's Guide to Success at Work also provides a wonderful final chapter on "Career Resources" that lists more than 15 Internet research sites for career opportunities and research, which can provide even the most experienced woman with new information. This would make a great gift for that newbie on the job or entering the job market!

Basic Stuff
I liked the book but expected more. I've been in the work place for about 10 years and wouldn't recommend it for someone like myself. This book is ideal for a recent high school or college graduate.

Fierce
Ms Wilson takes no prisoners. She gives it you straight and she covers everything you can possible face in the halls of corportate America. I'm buying copies for my friends.
