    A guide to making work, work
    Work is a tricky business-the politics, the workload, the career ladder. It can take years of battling away and learning through mistakes to fully get to grips with the dos and don'ts.

    In Stuff I Wish I'd Known When I Started Working, author Fergus O'Connell uses his experience to teach readers things it takes others years to find out. Based on a varied career spanning 30 years, the book offers insights to get ahead in the business world, with plenty of useful tips and tools.

    Stuff I Wish I'd Known When I Started Working also draws wisdom from some of the world's most successful people, including: Oprah Winfrey, J.K. Rowling, Steve Jobs, Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos. By learning from the experiences of others, readers can glean invaluable career advice and avoid making common mistakes themselves.

    The book covers practical business topics, with chapters addressing: communication, common sense, creativity, meetings, negotiation and networking, to help readers be more effective, more accountable, more visible and possibly skip a few steps on the corporate ladder.

    For those new to the workforce, changing roles, or stuck in a professional rut, it will help them to aim high and get where they're going faster.
