La ventaja Latina en el trabajo. Aprovecha quién eres para alcanzar tus metas. (Latino Advantage in the Workplace)

By staff -- Críticas, 9/1/2007

This simple and friendly book helps Latinos exploit their unique cultural strengths while searching for or performing on the job. Directed at young professionals, the work is divided into four sections that delineate what it is to be Latino, what advantages that entails, suggestions for advancing oneself in the workplace, and a last section about keeping everything in balance called “Cómo se combina todo,” with two well-developed appendixes that offer listings of Hispanic associations, employment web sites, professional associations, scholarships, and more. Numerous exercises allow readers to apply the book’s advice to their own employment situations. Most important, this book makes readers conscious of their background, roots, values, and characteristics and encourages them to embrace their culture with pride and combine it with their American cultural context. The result will be a thriving synthesis, making both cultures richer and more livable. With few Spanish-language titles on the market on this topic, this title is recommended for bookstores and libraries.—Daniel Berdaner, Dallas P.L., TX
