Employment Books

This is great. It hits all the highlights of the various laws governing employment relationships. Of all the books I have on ADA and FMLA this is the best explanation I've seen. If you need or want to learn about employment law this is excellent. It's one volume packed with accurate information that can replace volumes of other books.

A manager's success is dependent on the quality and performance of those he manages and recruitment techniques are key to obtaining the best help: that's why the step-by-step directions of The Essential Guide To Recruitment: How to Conduct Great Interviews and Select the Best Employees is so important. Chapters cover the best questions and how to assess answers for underlying strengths and weaknesses.

The DK "Essential Managers" series is a great value in the world of business publications. They are all very goal oriented and full of practical, real-world advice that is universally applicable.

In this volume Simon Howard (Robert Heller is often incorrectly credited with authorship) details the basics of resume writing and job search skills. The advice is generally excellent and is concisely delivered with separate chapters focusing on important resume writing skills such as format (mainly chronological versus functional), dealing with employment agencies, formulating cover letters, presentation of education and experience, etc. In the final few pages he provides samples of resumes of differing focus for diverse situations such as first time job seeker, returning to work, career changers, etc.

This is not a book of numerous differing sample resumes to be used as templates, rather, it is a quick reference guide to the basics of resume writing and job searches. The book is not exhaustive, but is not meant to be: it is compact, practical, and easy to use. I recommend this book, especially to people just beginning to formulate their resume.

For anybody interested in the "nuts and bolts" of EU legislation and case law relating to Community labour law and social policy this book is a must. To understand the ongoing social dialogue at European level is even for experts hard to master. The author has managed to put together key material, both for the law student and the practitioner, to produce a comprehensive and informative sourcebook which makes compulsory reading for anybody interested in this field.

I highly recommend this book to any HR professional or non-HR recruiter who is interested in a scientific approach to classifying personalities that research has shown are successful for different positions. The book and author has special experience with hiring sales and marketing people. Our firm has used Dr. Weitzul's system for many years and consider it to be the best. His other books are special-order only, but are worth it if you can find them.

This is the most comprehensive job search book I've read. As a college student, I've read my fair share of job search books. Morin gives examples of resumes which are most helpful and advice on job hunting skills, networking and answering those questions which are still primarily asked of women, especially those regarding family obligations.

This book gets down to the basics of elaborating the various pros and cons you will face when doing business in the start. It serves as a good guide to how you will approach and select your own business types. Nevertheless, It is ideal for those who do not have profound business knowledge and skills and yet want to try a business run. It is the indispensable choice for aspiring business rookies and new faces in the corporate sectors.

The factors like costs, marketing strategies, production planning and distribution policies and location are all being discussed in the business perspective for the reader to ponder before commiting to what business suits in the end. In short, it makes business starting seems a breeze with a better picture and foresight in mind.

Based on a longitudinal study of children starting in the 1930's, this book describes behavior of children at certain ages. It does not tell you how to raise your child. It simply tells you what to expect at 3 months, two years, eight years, etc. Instead of perceiving your child's behavior as peculiar or bad (and therefore punishing the child), the parent can see the behavior as normative. It enables acceptance of your child as he or she is and should be.

Despite the insurance industry's tendency to tout integrated disability and medical management plans, there remains a dearth of available information to guide the interested business manager through the process. The Executive's Guide to Controlling Health Care and Disability Costs: Strategy-Based Solutions provides an excellent overview and in-depth treatment of why companies should pursue an integrated approach toward disability and health care management, and how exactly they should do it

This book is a "must-read" for anyone who needs to make a resume. The before and after examples are SO helpful. I have used my completed resume several times and each time, the interviewers have been impressed! This book is very easy to read and understand and will help to improve ANY resume! I highly recommend it!
