Mrs Moneypenny's Careers Advice for Ambitious Women
This is an excellent and inspiring read. Mrs M points out that many women lack a strategy for career success and gives guidance and on how to develop one. The book is full of practical tips and real-life examples from many fields (eg makeup artistry), not just corporate life. She points out some of the differences between men and women (men want to be admired, women want to be liked etc) and gives concrete advice on how to combat these. It's great to hear all this from someone with her level of experience and success. All women can learn from this, though it is perhaps fair to say that it assumes the reader will have a degree of intelligence, ability and application.

I will be giving this book as required reading to each of my daughters (10, 16, 17). Real world experience from someone who has been there, done it and got the Hermes t-shirt. Funny, very readable and full of wisdom.

I picked up this book after reading some very enlightening pieces in the Mail on Sunday You magazine. As someone who has been in the same job role for quite a few years, it was a very refershing insight into the business world in which we work and how we can learn to cope and thrive on a daily basis. Mrs Moneypenny's describes ways in which we can all get ahead and arm ourselves to achieve success. Even if you are in a careers rut, she helps you to identify interested to assist in what may be the next step forward in your career. The book was a very easy to read with a check list at the end of each chapter, which I will be re-reading with my note book and pen. I particularly liked the section in which Mrs Moneypenny reassures you can't have it all. As a control freak, this section was very useful in ensuring we don't take too much on, something we can all be guilty of. Buy this for yourself, enjoy it and recommend it to friends who may appreciate the advice - as Mrs Moneypenny says, there's a place in Hell for women who don't help others!
