“With good jobs becoming harder to find, D’Alessandro’s sage advice is more timely and important than ever, especially for those who are trying to build their personal brands and enhance their careers at the same time.” —Tom Neff, Chairman, U.S., Spencer Stuart

“Smart, strategic, and useful career advice from someone who has actually achieved success in the real world.” —Harvey Mackay, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Swim With The Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive

- Read it, learn it, remember it
This book should have been called "How to make people think of you as the best thing that happened to them".

The 10 rules in this book, provided you make a concious effort to follow them, are not only going to change your professional life but also going to make your personality outside work dynamite as well.

THIS IS NOT A SELF HELP BOOK ! This book does not tell you about how the secret of the universe is visible to those who seek it and whatever else these self help authors write to fill pages upon pages in their books.

This is a book which is based on common sense. It talks of the things that you and me probably know are true and have experienced them in our daily lives yet we dont focus on them too much.

This book has collected all those random thoughts into a concrete place. It talks of all the pitfalls that an average working man/woman will encounter during ... Read More

- 5-Star Book, but "New and Revised" Edition Not So New
David D'Alessandro's second "Warfare" book (after Brand Warfare: 10 Rules for Building the Killer Brand) is one of the top career books available. Check out the reviews for the original edition (Career Warfare: 10 Rules for Building a Successful Personal Brand and Fighting to Keep It). This "newly revised" 2008 edition includes little new information, as other reviewers have already pointed out. Still, if you don't own the first edition, put this one on your wishlist immediately--it's the best of D'Allessandro's "Warfare" series.

- Great Book, but Not Much Change from the 2004 Masterpiece
This review is specifically for this paperback 2008 edition.

Career Warfare was originally published in 2004, and it is one of the best books on personal career strategies and development that one could ever find. It's very straight forward, to the point that sometimes it could be brutally honest, and very realistic. It reminds us that we need to look beyond our own frames of reference, understanding things from our boss' point of views, and most importantly to always be on top of our games, since the higher we go, the more battles we could expect along the way.

Having said that, I've read both the 2004 and 2008 edition and compared the two page by page. The only updates I've seen is in the introduction and on pages 112, 113, and 114 when talking about making sure that one chooses a place of employment where the opportunity of advancement is not controlled by only one "exclusive" group. The content ... Read More
