 It's one of the tougher questions that everyone is faced with at some point during their career: Should I find a new job or stick with the one I have? It is never a pleasant place to be, but here are three resources that might help you work through this difficult decision.
How to Be Useful: A Beginner's Guide to Not Hating Work by Megan Hustad
Young, ironic liberal-arts types typically recoil in horror from the earnest advice dispensed in uncool career guides. But these eager beavers, generally clueless as to the ins and outs of climbing the corporate leader, badly need the pointers. Megan Hustad, who toiled in the pretentious rice fields of publishing, surveys a century's worth of career advice from sages ranging from the two Carnegies (Andrew and Dale) to Helen Gurley Brown and Stephen ("Seven Habits of Highly Effective People") Covey. The wisdom she distills, interspersed with telling anecdotes from the contemporary workplace—like why it's bad form to pipe up boldly at meetings on the third day of work—is clever and, as the title promises, useful. The book is an excellent gift for the comp-lit graduate seeking to make it big in Silicon Valley, Wall Street, Hollywood or Capitol Hill.

 We heart Robert Homan, the co-founder of GlassDoor.com, a website that is trying to make it as transparent (get it?) as possible to find out information about your new potential employer. But more on that in a moment…
Quoted in a recent Associated Press article, Homan said, “"We think it's super important that people are able to find a job where they can go home happy at the end of the day." That‘s what inspired him to create an anonymous site where people can post typically top-secret information about compensation and candid reviews about what it’s really like inside that cubicle. |

 Last year, we brought you news of the release of New Girl on the Job: Advice from the Trenches, a career guide by our own blogger and journalist, Hannah Seligson. We are pleased to announce that New Girl is still on the job and was just released in paperback. While Seligson really wanted to call the book, How Not to Cry at Work, that hasn’t stood in the way of rave reviews.
