 Rating:  - Looking for the perfect graduation gift? You've found it!This book is aptly subtitled //Business Sense and Sensibility.// I wish it had been written long ago, so I could have had it as a guide when I first dived into the business world. This small book is full of real-world advice that any new graduate should absorb; while some of the advice, like a basic business wardrobe, is definitely slanted toward the feminine reader, much is gender neutral, such as the parts about basic business etiquette and on how to positively present oneself. It's ... Read More Rating:  - Enjoyable read: Lots of fluff, lots of good adviceIn Women, Work & The Art of Savoir Faire: Business Sense & Sensibility, Mireille Guiliano advises career women on how to achieve success in whatever manner each woman defines it. There's plenty of basic, not-exactly-new information here: take care of yourself, eat right, be gracious, say thankyou, hitch yourself to a star. Take risks. Entertain others in your home. Be a gracious host. Remember that appearance matters. Always look your best. Giuliano has clearly created her own personal ... Read More Rating:  - tres bienStraight talking and insightful advice your mother should have given you - like the importance of communications skills - esp. calling people by name and thank you notes; the essentials of a business wardrobe, and great insight into branding. From the author of French Women Don't Get Fat, this life guide to business success is more than common sense -- and just for the record the recipes included are really good, too. Rating: - A Must Have Guidebook for the Working WomanThis book is awesome. Nothing she says is rocket science, but her insightful tips are priceless. I used a few when I had to conduct a business lunch and the result for me was success. Love her fun, feel-good, easy writing style as well. You'll definitely says Merci! Rating: - Good advice--if you live in the author's worldSome of the advice is good, if general. But most of it only seems applicable if you happen to find yourself in the rarefied world that this author apparently grew up in and lives in still. As I say, some very good advice, but get the book from the library and save your $$.
