OVERVIEW This seminar, based on the book of the same name, is a handy survival guide for young adults entering the work force and is conducted by Tim Bryce (the author), a seasoned management consultant with over 30 years of experience. Mr. Bryce has consulted with some of the largest corporations in the world, as well as many small and medium sized businesses. WHO SHOULD ATTEND? This seminar is universally applicable to anyone entering the work force for the first time. Although the original intent was to write this for college graduates, it is equally applicable for anyone starting off in life, be it someone entering the work force straight out of high school, an immigrant starting his/her life in this country, or someone leaving the military and entering the work force. Corporate Human Resource departments will also find this book useful for setting new hires on the right track in their career. The lessons included will expedite the adaptation to the corporate culture and thereby make the new employee more productive, more rapidly. It not only reenforces the many formal rules as contained in corporate policy manuals, but also includes the subtle unwritten rules we must all observe while working with others. The seminar is excellent for college Career Service personel and for Career Day programs. COURSE OUTLINE Introduction "Welcome to the Jungle."
