Publisher: Doubleday

How to: psych out the Boss in your life; dig the lingo of your industry; organize your day the Company way; recruit other girls for dread chores; keep your powder dry in a crisis; survive a reorganization; and get out when the getting's good. There are also clues on retooling your body and mind, and helpful hints on grooving with IRS while making out neglectful Big Daddy's expense account. All sensible and not overcute, by an ex-exec and ex-executive secretary. Interestingly, they recommend the Village Voice as a brain-bender for the girl of limited horizons. A future secretary's introduction to the elements of life around the office, this should help her ""blend them into the sweet-and-sour sauce of success"". . . rather than hitting it.
