Very impressed with Sink or Swim

The authors highlight a frightening fact -- 1 out of 4 new employees do not make it through their first year on the job. Sink or Swim acts as a life vest for new employees during their their first 12 weeks of employment. The authors highlight 5 skills that will help new employees not only stay afloat, but actively pursue success in their new roles. The 5 skills for success are setting goals, managing time, developing workplace knowledge, learning how to be a team player, and creating a professional image.

The book creatively outline a twelve week plan that focuses on specific skills and recommendations. Weekly focuses include titles such as "Case the Joint", "Ignite Your Star Power", and "Raise Your Sails." The book includes calendars, reminders, and objectives that help map out and plan each week's successes. The book does a WONDERFUL job of sharing straightforward, NO B.S. information that helps new employees in any field to not only survive, but thrive in their new roles. I feel that Sink or Swim is a valuable tool that helps empower new employees to become top performers from day one! I strongly recommend that others read this book.

Targets a key overlooked audience

I'm recommending this book to clients and friends in the corporate world who are responsible for on-boarding and retaining new hires. Unlike "The First 90 Days," which is a good book for executives, this is targeted for recent college grads, who often don't know how to approach succeeding in a corporate culture. Lively, well-organized, very practical.

GREAT INFORMATION

THIS BOOK HITS THE SPOT WHEN IT COMES TO GETTING IT RIGHT IN YOUR FIRST WEEKS OF A NEW JOB. THE INFORMATION IS CLEAR, CONCISE, AND EMPHASIZES ALL THE TOOLS YOU NEED TO KNOW TO GIVE YOURSELF A HEAD START WITH YOUR COMPANY AND EMPLOYER. I ENJOYED READING THIS BOOK AND FEEL EVERYONE WHO READS IT WILL BENEFIT FROM THE INFORMATIVE AND ENJOYABLE NARRATIVE. IT'S THE BEST YET ON THE MARKET FOR THIS KIND OF GENRE.

Excellent resource for new employees!

I would never have survived my new job without having read Sink or Swim! This book is an amazing resource. In our intensive, fast paced work environment having a "coach" to help you navigate the difficult waters of a new job (or even a current one) is key to survival. Thuy and Milo Sindell have hit the nail on the head with their insightful guidance that comes from years of experience. This is the next best thing to actually having a business coach. Not only has my husband, who works in the staffing industry, recommended Sink or Swim to each of his company's new hires, the HR department at my company is considering handing this book out to all their new employees. It's that valuable!

Amazing book for New Hires

As a current PhD student in Organizational Psychology and a new hire at an organizational development firm, Sink or Swim, has really encouraged me to become more boldly involved with the people that I work with and apply behaviors that the authors write about inside the classroom as well. Milo and Thuy Sindell's week-by-week approach to starting a new job and being successful even after the first twelve weeks has helped me to gain confidence, understand what is expected in companies and organizations, and to thrive using personal as well as professional approaches. The tongue-in-cheek humor and intimate style that the authors have used is just what I look for as a young professional. There's simply no way to make a mess of your first three months on the job if you follow Sink or Swim's real approach to the real world of business.
