Summary:
This book wasn't really a story as much as it was an informative book. It is a great book on the importance of being valuable for your company so that you will be able to advance and become of more worth in the real world. It was good for me to read while coming out of high school because I am in need of a job and this book helped give me ideas on how to be the best candidate for a job. It said a lot on how to make your application stick out from the others. Wording in the application is so important in the process. You have to credit yourself on past experience in the work place, often times, this can make or break a job application. This book pointed out that there are always ways to cut costs and increase a net profit. It is great to know these simple rules and facts that will help forever in the future to make one more valuable and an indispensable employee for their job.

Explanation:
Not the everyday book the people expect to read but this book was very informational and very useful. I liked it because of the important information that will come to be useful in my career and in becoming the best candidate when it comes to applying and working with new jobs. I am not a great reader, but this interested me from the beginning. It caught my attention with the importance of knowing what and how to become valuable. I am going to start having to work for everything and it is going to be a little easier with the information I learned from this book.

Favorite passage:
You will come across countless lists of things to do, including wearing nice shoes and having a bright smile. But what you really need to do is help the company earn more money than it spends and spend less thatn it earns - period.
This passage points out that all of that mumbo jumbo hints on how to get raises and to gain a higher status in the workplace, but the way to become indispensable is to help the company improve profits and to become the best employee possible.
