Arabic: Office Life Handbook
*The Handbook on Office Life* is a book that covers everything from the basics to advanced aspects of office life to help female office workers suffering from "office puberty syndrome" navigate the harsh corporate environment smoothly. It was published by compiling the office columns that were serialized in *Vogue Korea* for three years and received enthusiastic support from women in their 20s and 30s, along with newly written articles. Dividing the year into 12 months, the book discusses the essential office etiquette that a wise career woman in the 21st century must possess—rather than simply working hard and silently—by grouping two mandatory topics for each month.
