To hell with modesty! How to overcome self-doubt and start promoting yourself

This book is aimed at those who strive to overcome shyness and gain confidence in themselves. Stephanie Sword-Williams has taught thousands of people around the world the art of successful self-presentation. By following her advice, performing simple exercises, and laughing at amusing (but very instructive!) examples from the author’s and her friends' lives, you will learn how to create non-standard resumes, deal with "difficult" bosses and colleagues, and negotiate about money. You will realize the benefits of networking, master self-presentation techniques, understand that mistakes are funny rather than scary, and most importantly, that self-promotion is not a dirty word but a useful skill necessary for achieving success in your career and life.
