Employment Books

I started doing some contract work as a recruiter and I needed a well written legal guide to employment law and this is it. A great reference and well as book you can read thru to give yourself a primer on employment law. A must for the small business owner who has employees

I have found this book to be very helpful,bacause i am takeing a course in employment law.

Unlike the politically biased journalists who dominate the controversial subjects of antidiscrimination regulation and affirmative action, Farrell Bloch hammers away with trenchant analysis, letting the conclusions fall where they may. If you want the rigor of an academic instead of a political manifesto, and are willing to challenge your preconceptions, this is the book for you.

I found this book while searching for a dissertation topic. The book is not limited to the points covered in the description given above. Most interesting for me were the author's chapters on recruitment and recruitment discrimination. He sets forth several hypotheses I've not encountered elsewhere. And these chapters as well as the rest of the book are very well-written (in English, not math!) and draw on the real-world human resources and legal environments.

Not of much interest to me, but perhaps to others, are the discussions of the philosophical foundations for antidiscrimination regulation and affirmative action, and of the use of economics and statistics in employment discrimination lawsuits. Most of the discusion in the last chapter will be familiar to those who've taken a labor economics course. There is one cool unemployment remedy using interactive phones that would work even better on the internet.

I love this book. I haven't started any business yet, but I love the ideas because they tell you exactly how to run a business, complete with information on taxes and licenses.

My favorite business listed is "Greeting Cards" because I have been making computer greeting cards for my family for years for free! If I can turn this into a business with the help of this book, I can earn big $$$!

I also liked how the author told about some teen entreprenuers and how they earned money through owning a business. I can't wait to get started!

I read this book for some ideas to make some money and it really helped!!!!!!!!! I would recommend this book for any teenager in your house.

I'm married to an American and was not familair with US laws and customs regarding working while pregnant and the maternity leave regulatons. This was the only book that I discovered to help me go through the process thouroughly. I recommend it to your readers quite highly.

This book should be required reading not just for every woman who works through her pregnancy but also bosses and co-workers! The best part for me was how and when to tell your boss because that was the most nervewracking step. The author also offers great advice for dealing with all the symptoms we deal with while pregnant and gives advice for dealing with rude/insensitive comments from co-workers. (I know they mean well but if one more person rubs my belly, so help me!!)

I bet most people don't know half this information (both the legal stuff and the common sense info) and it would really help every office with pregnant (or planning to be pregnant) women. I want my HR department to have this in their office next to their health insurance binder (plus I wish I could sneak a copy anonymously to my boss.)

Thomas Burns' BARBARIANS WITHIN THE GATES OF ROME manages something quite difficult. It is a very readable book that manages to be scholarly but still quite enjoyable. Anybody who is interested in this era in western civilization would enjoy this book. The usual view of the decline of Rome-- that it fell for some sort of "moral" reason --is very inacurate and this book presents the real truth of this pivotal era in a very entertaining manner. Burns is the rare academic whose writing is as lucid as it is learned, and this book admirably displays that. If you've never given this era a serious look, this book is a great introduction. I've been interested in the early years of Christianity for many years, and I loved this book.

This is indeed an excellent book for those who wish to better understand Western civilisation and the nature of the relationships between the Romans and other groups within the Empire.

The book is well-written and is the result of outstanding research.

I had Dr. Lomax as a professor and he is a brilliant man and his book conveys that. It is an absolute must read for anyone considering overseas assignments.

A must read for anyone contemplating an overseas assignment or for anyone in a position to send key people abroad. Unlike many management how-to's this one is written from first hand experience, from both sides of the desk-sender and sendee. The light though pithy writing style carries the reader easily along, is engaging and clearly informative. The case studies Lomax uses are to the point and vividly descriptive; the lessons flow in a most logical and easy to follow sequence. Many illustrations, artfuly executed, mirror the writers easy style, add a measure of amusement and dramatize the subject matter. It's a shame that a high quality, clearly presented text on this subject has not been available in the past. The angst of so many returning "expats" might have been avoided. A real classic- destined to the difinitive work of its genre.

I think this book would be very helpful to anyone transitioning from military/government employment to the private sector. And my opinion is not based on the fact that I once worked with the author overseas.

Read it from cover-to-cover. Easy reading. Exceptionally informative and extremelly useful. A job well done.

Simply superb! Gives a marvellous history of Tralee, detailing the
colourful history of places such as the Abbey Inn and Horans. Liam Kelly also boldly treads where few others would- The Bull Ring. This book emphasises the importance of importing and trade to Tralee- particularly from Spain. One particularly riveting chapter is that devoted to the notorious crime boss of Tralee, Kieran Kelly, his various crimes and his battle to beat alcoholism. Also includes various interviews with some of Tralee's senior citizens, giving their personal accounts of the past, including a rather humourous, if at times disturbing one from retired sheep farmer Aidan Savage. Overall, an excellent book. As they say in Tralee "Go on, you wan!"

Excellent book from start to finish, definitely worth the read. Packed with historical information on Tralee's past and it's importance during and after the Great Famine. Would definitely recommend it.

this book was a lifesaver, i lent it to a friend and my dog chewed it up but i will not dis ard it until i replace it, and i am not in an alcoholic situation now-which attests to its strength. id like to say thanks to this book but god helped also. this book was a lifesaver and it helped to keep me on track , it wont make it easy, but it will remind you of the hard work you must do. and when you forget what you are doing or why it will agian remind you. i am now looking to replace my copy. it is a small book only 150 pages and can fit in a purse but well worth the money!! good guidance never gets old or outdated. please read this if you are looking for a way out, feel alone, don't know where to turn or need help and can no longer do what you are doing.

When I was doing alcoholism interventions in the eighties, I would buy this book by the case from Ballantine. It was a must read for family members and friends before we intervened to help the alcoholic. It is written for the lay person and is easy to read and understand. This book helps dispel the myth "You can't help an alcoholic unless he wants help". It also teaches the importance of having a professional orchestrate the intervention.

Written by Thomas W. Morris III CMF, Career Mechanics I: Solutions to Common Career & Employment Problems is a solid advice and employment guide written for all sides of the hiring table. Divided into four parts offering guidance to career seekers, employees, human resource managers, and career coaches respectively, Career Mechanics I covers everything from interviews, resumes, and first impressions to the value of networking and, for human resource managers, how to deal with a new employee who just doesn't measure up. Presenting its points in plain terms and bite-sized paragraphs, Career Mechanics I is a thoroughly accessible guidebook and highly recommended for its practical wisdom and expertise.

"Career Mechanics I" has excellent information for first time job seekers. I work in a university and I give this book as a present to my senior student workers. It's packed with good advice about selecting a career and searching for a job. Better, it gives them superb information regarding keeping -- or moving from -- their first job.
