Jill on Money Radio Show: A Financial Start Over

Whew, a pretty rough week on Wall Street, eh? Hopefully everybody stayed calm and carried on :)

Hour one this week is the usual mix of calls and emails.

Nothing like a fresh divorce to cause you to re-evaluate your financial situation. Hey, at least our caller cut her losses while she’s still young, so it’s really more of a celebration.

In hour two, we're calling all recent college graduates!

You've landed a job. Now what?

To help answer that question, we're joined this weekend by Gorick Ng, author of The Unspoken Rules: Secrets to Starting Your Career Off Right.

No one tells you how to navigate your first day in a new role. No one tells you how to take ownership, manage expectations, or handle workplace politics. No one tells you how to get promoted.

The answers to these professional unknowns lie in the unspoken rules, the certain ways of doing things that managers expect but don't explain and that top performers do but don't realize.

The problem is, these rules aren't taught in school. Instead, they get passed down over dinner or from mentor to mentee, making for an unlevel playing field, with the insiders getting ahead and the outsiders stumbling along through trial and error.

Until now.
