On the Aug. 20, 2017 edition of Work with Marty Nemko, I talk with the author of First Impressions, Ann Demarais about not-obvious ways to make a good first impression.

In the program's second segment, I do Workovers on callers. Whatever career conundrum is besetting you or someone you care about, I can usually help.

Work with Marty Nemko is heard every Sunday from 11 AM to noon on KALW 91.7 FM in San Francisco and worldwide on KALW.org.

The programs are archived on NPR.org and on iTunes and in perpetuity on this web page.
