I recently purchased a business that will require a lot of socializing and networking in my community. Since I haven't been in the corporate world since the late eighties when I had my first child, I was looking for something that could bring me up-to-date on how to "Look, Dress and Act the Part" just like it says on the front cover of Ms. Weingarten's book. Unfortunately, she never actually tells you anything. The book is almost cagey in its advice like she is afraid to say anything that might date the book or be construed as actual advice. There is a lot of talk about how everyone is different and no style works well for everyone or every situation. Duh! She cautions you not to be too sexy or too boring or too avant-garde or too conservative. Again, duh!
Here is an example, "There is no such thing as one definition of beauty....My best advice then? As with your wardrobe, figure out what works for you..." Double and triple duh! There is also a lot of vague business advice that is just about as helpful (including a tip not to trade sex for advancement at work in case you were thinking that was a clever career move). If you don't already know everything in this book, you probably shouldn't be out in the workforce.

I saw this book and four others recommended by Entrepreneur magazine as the best books for women entrepreneurs. I normally don't like books that are geared only to women because I like to think that the rules are the same for women and men in business, but after working the corporate world for the last six years I see that I'm sadly very, very wrong.
This book charts out so many issues that come out at work, and it made it sound like it was mostly about fashion style, but it's about all of the things that make up your work style. I thought I knew a lot about how to make my personal brand, but this is the first time that I started paying attention to things that my co-workers take for granted and realized that it makes me a valuable team player and at work entreprenuer. I've been thinking about setting up a consulting business and I have to say this gives me tremendous confidence.
Great resource for college grads or people looking for a career change or just to pep up their personal business style.
Here's the article http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23521168/
the other book I bought from that review is The Girls' Guide to Building a Million-Dollar Business
A really cool book for women December 16, 2007

I heard Ms. Weingarten speak at an industry event and was impressed with her warmth and enthusiasm. I was not disappointed when I read her book at all. Some people claim to want to help you but leave out critical details in their works, Weingarten included personal anecdotes and more, but also tips on how not to make mistakes that she did. I was amazed at how honest and helpful she is in person and in print. My only criticism is that I would have loved actual photographs in the styles tips,it would have helped to give me more of an idea of what to avoid. Then again even the books by INSTYLE look dated right away, so maybe it was a good decision not to put in pictures.
Read this book if you want help at any stage of your career. It won't tell you what to do, but it will help you understand why you are the only person who can define your personal brand in your career.
I can't wait to read the next in the Career and Corporate Cool series!
So Much Info! A Great Guide to the Real World September 26, 2007

My friend has a copy and after I kept borrowing it over and over to look at different topics she finally told me I'd better get my own! I did and am loving it! I'm in my first real job and I had my first big meeting yesterday and thanks to Career and Corporate Cool I knew what to do and how to do it. I was dressed right, I behaved right and I followed up well. Thanks for the great guide - I know I'll be referring to this book for a long, long time.
A must-read for moms heading back to work September 11, 2007

If you've spent the last few months (or years) wearing spit-up or peanut butter as an accessory, read this book. It's a great pep talk on what-to-wear and how to act for any stay-at-home mom returning to the workforce.
