People in previous generations tended to choose one career route and remain with it. Switching employers every several years was unusual, and changing occupations was even more unusual.

Today's career paths are less structured and straightforward. Because technology has created new professions that did not previously exist, we now have a much broader selection of professional alternatives to choose from—and even more opportunities to discover employment that excites us. However, we no longer discover and apply for employment in the same way, and businesses no longer find people in the same way. Isn't it about time we have a game plan for dealing with it all?

The popular job website TheMuse's founders, Kathryn Minshew and Alexandra Cavoulacos, present the essential guide to the modern workplace. In The New Rules of Work, you will learn the following through fast exercises and planned tips:

• The New Rules for Choosing the Correct Path: Using the simple step-by-step Muse Method, sift through and narrow today's ever-growing menu of job and career alternatives.
  
• The New Rules for Getting the Ideal Job: Create your own brand and convey how you can offer and why your experience is relevant in a way that will catch the attention of your ideal employer. Then, from getting your foot in the door to negotiating your offer, ace every step of the interview process.
  
• The New Rules for Career Growth and Advancement: Mastering first impressions, communication, networking, leadership, and other "soft" talents - and demonstrate that you're ready to advance at whatever level you're at.
  

The New Rules of Work is the book you need to prosper in the New World of Work, whether you are just starting out, trying to advance, navigating a mid-career move, or somewhere in between.
