Employment Books

I spent endless hours looking for a job once I graduated from college. A few times I wanted to give up and just stay home. But a college friend of mine told me about this book and my luck changed. I revised my cover letter and resume and the next thing I knew I got three interviews and three offers. Thank you Bob for helping me land the job of my dreams!!!

This book was my savior during my job search as I was preparing to graduate from college. Every book I looked at for help on resumes was designed for someone who already had professional work experience. This book shows you how to take your part time college jobs and recreational experiences and turn it into intensely desirable stuff. It shows examples of resumes by college major, with infinite examples and explanations. It was so successful for me, in fact, that I now buy it as a present for all my friends when they graduate and head into the work force.

Excellent - Well worth the money. I've already used the Info Tech Employment books. Students and other professionals often ask me--how do I get a job in IT. Now I know where to tell them. Every major company hiring and consultant company I know is here. What bundle of good research for a jobseeker just to call and send the resume.

I couldn't have gotten through this difficult time without Koltnow's advise. The book helped me negotiate a severance package, update my resume and network into a GREAT new position. I even negotiated a better package then I had at my previous job. Thank you for writing this book. My new bible!

This is a super book with great advice on negotiating a severance, and getting out there to hit the pavement running again. Its a shame to see such a great book out of print, but if you can find a copy, its worth the wait!

"Examines the professional lives of gay men, exploring the various strategies they have developed for managing their sexual identity--from disguising or revealing it to avoiding the subject altogether. Studies the consequences of each choice."--© zebraz

This book is a study of the tactics that gay men use to keep their sexual orientation hidden from their (often homophobic) co-workers. It scares me how accurate it is. Let me give you an example, I once had a male teacher who said, "I was once going out with this woman who blah, blah, blah." Well, many straight people would think, "Okay, girlfriend equals straight." But a critical reader would see that the man said, "Once!" Many openly gay men used to date women. This book mentions tactics like acting weird so that co-workers just dismiss you as asexual, emphasizing your love of sports in order to hide the fact that you're not involved with a woman, being so liberal that when you mention gay rights co-workers think you are a leftist rather than gay, etc. If straight people read this book, gay men would never be able to hide. This book was both a gift and a weapon. Some have critiqued it asking why anyone would want to study, and subconsciously encourage, men to be closeted. However, this book does talk to men about their being out in the workplace and how they did it. We need more studies like this. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. However, it could be incredibly dangerous if placed in the wrong hands.

According to American labor law,does an employee has a right to legal representative during disciplinary hearing in private companies.

Anyone working with the NLRA needs to have this text close at hand. It is the most complete work detailing the history and application of U.S. labor laws. It is complete with case citations.

En Paris un poeta al salir de una orgia Angeles aleteando en la bestia veia Noble vision ustorio de este bardo maldito que canta, en tono grave, su fulgor infinito

Yo tambien se visiones en mi mente precita Un tropel de mirages sin descanso palpita Querubines-demonios,grande veldad...conmociones, Que harian estreecer los duros corazones Y en el mortal ignoto un angel canta No ha elevado un estigma,una vision que espanta? Alguna vez poeta, aunque el simple no creer

En el angel dormido una bestia loquea (patea)

Autor: Dr.Jesus Garcia Vazques

Symbolism is one of those schools of poetry that seems to fallen out of favor. Baudelaire's own particular brand is harsh, revolutionary, and sensual. This is not frilly love poetry but the work of a great decadent of mid-nineteenth century France. While much is lost in translation, his poetry still rings quite powerfully and is as relevant today as it ever will be. This is one of the books that helped found later surrealist movements along with the work of Rimbaud and Marquis De Sade. A great beautiful book dealing with the great temptations and filth of existence, in essence that which brings on evil.

Stedman Graham is a master of leadership. His work on diversity is rich with insight. His concept of leaders not labels is brilliantly relevant to not only the US culture but eqally critical to optimize the benefits of this new "flat world" global economy. The richness of our differences is one of the keys to our competiveness and innovation both as organizations and individuals. This is a book every one should read if they want to improve thier quality of life and influence. Buy it, read it and live it.

Stedman Graham asks, "What do you do with your twenty-four hours?" I say give this book to everybody you know.

Mr Graham is very well grounded in his thinking and gives a fundamental and practical guideline for not only business people, but for all of us who believe that we can change the world one thought, one person at a time. This should be required reading from high school on into college.

It is difficult to come by this book at the price tag on a limited budget, but the read is well worth it. Grotelueschen displays a firm grasp of military theory and how that theory is applied or in some cases misapplied. The voice Grotelueschen captures is one of an insider no doubt learned in the hallowed halls of West Point. His firm grasp of all things army belies a thorough understanding of how artillery played a role in the stalemate of World War I trenches. It is a voice to be listened to and heeded.

We reach out to history to not repeat the mistakes of the past. If we ever get involved in stalemate trench warfare again in the wine country of France, let's hope that all artillery commanders have this book on their reading list.

Bottom line, this author Mark Ethan Grotelueschen is brilliant.

This author puts tremendous effort and thought into his writing. An exceptional product from a talented professor.

I wish I'd had this book available to me 12 years ago when I was a small business owner. I made several - very costly - hiring mistakes which I could have avoided if I had Quinn's guidance. Quinn teaches the reader to cut through the prospective employee's glossy shell, that persona created especially for the interview process. I understand that the interview subject wants to put his best foot forward during a hiring interview. But now, thanks to Quinn's book, I have the tools to determine the more realistic motivations of a potential hire. I've also used these principles to become a better negotiator and recommend this book as a companion to Quinn's second book "Have the Attitude".

This book made a difference for me. If you take the time to understand the simple principals the author presents, and apply them (not quite as easy as it sounds at first, but second nature after awhile), it will pay off. One of the BEST things I got out of it, though, is that I am a much better manager than I was before I read it, so it's not JUST for hiring. It's good for self-improvement as well.

I am responsible for screening and hiring people for both creative and technical positions, and the principals in the book applied equally regardless of job level or function. The last hire I found was the most difficult from the standpont of selection (I was lucky enough to have several very good candidates), but after evaluating each using what I learned, one rose to the top, and we hired her. She turned out far better that I expected. Coincidence? Maybe. Why mess with success, though?

It's a very quick read, and for the most part direct and to the point. I suggest you read it from front to back (don't skip chapters, as they build from one to the next), then keep it in your desk to use as a reference for awhile.

Basically, it deals with understanding how much control people perceive they have over their environment, where their true passions lie, and how that applies to the position. The author makes some very important points on how easy it is to make the mistake of assuming the person with the best skills is always the best for the job!!! That's what made the biggest difference in my approach.

This is really an oversimplification, but it gives you a little insight.

A friend suggested this book after she used it to get into pharma sales from advertising sales. I inquired with other pharma reps when I wanted to do the same and all suggested it highly so I bought it. If you follow the guidelines and add your own unique touches you should be able to break into this business. In actuality it could probably help anyone trying to change their career direction, it's all about knowledge and truly learning the ways of craft that you desire. This book it DEFINITELY worth it! I followed every step and got an offer.

After 3 interviews with 3 large Phamra companies, I landed a pharmaceutical sales job. This guide was great in helping me figure out exactly what the interviewer was looking for in a sales candidate. This is a VERY realistic guide since a guy that actually DOES the interviewing for a pharmaceutical company wrote it.

A must have guide for anyone trying to get into this industry.

Thanks,

Tina
