By Mike Hintz
I have just finished reading Alan Collins' "Unwritten HR Rules" for the SECOND time. If your career is in HR and you haven't read Alan's honest, insightful and useful strategies, you should do yourself (and your career) a favor and get it now! This will quickly become one of your `go to' books for managing your career.
Alan has packed this book with his real life and practical experiences that all HR (and non HR) professionals will recognize. He speaks candidly of day to day situations, events and opportunities we have all had or will encounter....and how you can be successful in dealing with them.
Put very simply his `secrets' make sense and provide actionable strategies that, when implemented, will positively impact your career. BONUS: Alan's unique insight and candid style is also shared on his blog at www.SuccessInHR.com. Don't miss out as he continues to provide other spot on and actionable observations and advice. Great resource!

By Julie K.
Awesome book. I like the fact that in the book Collins gives you principles that you can adapt to your own HR career situation and lots of illustrative examples. For instance, in marketing yourself and your accomplishments, he talks a great deal about playing to your strengths and gives some great examples of HR people, who you can identify with, who have done just that. He talks authentically about his own successes and failures and in a way that you can learn from. Read this book once, quickly. It should not take more than a couple of hours. Mark out the sections that appeal to you. Then go back to it every two months or so and read it again or at least the highlighted sections. Figure out how you can adapt and USE the points he makes. And then you will get the full value of this great book.

By Sandy Jones-Kaminski
I found this book to be an incredibly insightful guide for all the well-intentioned people that go into the field of HR mainly because they "like people." Alan reminds us that, yes, it not only helps to like people if you're pursuing a career in HR, but it also helps if you actually like and know how to work with or aspire to be management.
Reading "Unwritten HR Rules" you'll learn how to increase your compensation as well as ways to cultivate a G.R.A.N.D. network of relationships and even use tools like LinkedIn much more effectively.
I strongly recommend this treatise - not only for all levels of HR professionals currently in the field - but also for anyone in college thinking about a career in HR or experienced folks in another discipline wanting to make a switch to it.
I found Alan's smart, concise and "no BS" book to be an incredibly easy read and the chapter on the importance of showing up strong at meetings well worth the price of the book alone. Thanks for opening the kimono Alan and sharing all this hard-earned knowledge. I have identified at least 3 "junior mint" HR folks that I will order this for as a Christmas gift!
