Have you ever been passed over for a promotion, or not chosen for a job that you really wanted and were qualified to do? If so, it’s a good idea to spend some time examining the factors that might be keeping you from achieving the career success that you want and feel you deserve.

In Help! Was That a Career Limiting Move?, human resources and career development experts Pamela J. Holland and Marjorie Brodie, CSP, CMC, PCC offer valuable suggestions for identifying and overcoming challenges that keep people from achieving their professional goals. If you think you’re doing everything you need to do to get ahead, but just never seem to be recognized for your accomplishments, this book is a must-read for you.

This easy-to-read, interesting, and entertaining publication provides examples of the communication, professionalism, knowledge, and attitudinal pitfalls that often keep people from getting what they want in the workplace. Many people sabotage their ability to get ahead by engaging in unintentional behaviors that keep them from being seriously considered for promotion and new job opportunities.

This book is a great resource for helping readers step back and examine their actions in terms of how they are perceived by decision makers in the workplace. Some of the tips and suggestions are easy adjustments to make (such as keeping your shoes on in the workplace and wearing clean clothes to work), and others require a little more mental effort (like setting objectives and becoming recognized as someone who honors his or her commitments).
