Download or read book The Actor's Life written by Jenna Fischer and published by BenBella Books. This book was released on 2017-11-14 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jenna Fischer's Hollywood journey began at the age of 22 when she moved to Los Angeles from her hometown of St. Louis. With a theater degree in hand, she was determined, she was confident, she was ready to work hard. So, what could go wrong? Uh, basically everything. The path to being a professional actor was so much more vast and competitive than she'd imagined. It would be eight long years before she landed her iconic role on The Office, nearly a decade of frustration, struggle, rejection and doubt. If only she'd had a handbook for the aspiring actor. Or, better yet, someone to show her the way—an established actor who could educate her about the business, manage her expectations, and reassure her in those moments of despair. Jenna wants to be that person for you. With amusing candor and wit, Fischer spells out the nuts and bolts of getting established in the profession, based on her own memorable and hilarious experiences. She tells you how to get the right headshot, what to look for in representation, and the importance of joining forces with other like-minded artists and creating your own work—invaluable advice personally acquired from her many years of struggle. She provides helpful hints on how to be gutsy and take risks, the tricks to good auditioning and callbacks, and how not to fall for certain scams (auditions in a guy's apartment are probably not legit—or at least not for the kind of part you're looking for!). Her inspiring, helpful guidance feels like a trusted friend who's made the journey, and has now returned to walk beside you, pointing out the pitfalls as you blaze your own path towards the life of a professional actor.
Download or read book The Office written by Jo Hoare and published by Ryland Peters & Small. This book was released on 2015-10-08 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether it's how to style out a crippling hangover, behave at the Christmas party or identify the resident perv, The Office: A Survival Guide has got your back when it comes to anything work related. Is the daily grind getting you down? Does the thought of another day spent staring at a screen while your colleagues bore you to tears with tales of what their cat had for breakfast make you want to scream? Unfortunately, going to work is a necessary evil that we all have to face. But fear not, because help is at hand with The Office: A Survival Guide. Starting with The Rules, you will learn how to become a master of the passive aggressive email, what's acceptable in the world of office fashion, or knowing what subjects to talk about without making everyone think you're annoying. Next, discover how to identify certain types of colleague, like the illness martyr who spends evey day shouting how brave they are for coming in when they feel so terrible, or the one everyone fancies – an average-looking person who people lust after in the office but wouldn't look twice at in the street. A chapter on The Events will guide you through the pitfalls of away days, business trips and important presentations and the brilliant How To... section is packed full of inspiration for slackers, with tips on how to look extremely busy while doing very little, how to suck up to the boss and how to appear "on the level" despite the fact you necked eight pints and three cocktails just hours previously. Accompanied by lively illustrations throughout, this hilarious guide will mean you'll never look at going to work in the same way again.
Book Synopsis How To Survive The Office by : Jeremy Young
Download or read book How To Survive The Office written by Jeremy Young and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-09-06 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are tons of books on the world of business. Subjects range from how to find a job, how to manage meetings, how to be a C.E.O., how to balance work and life. None seem to provide practical solutions that applied to daily office life.I decided to write this book to share my honest thoughts about common subjects of office life. As someone who has worked for numerous, public, private, family-owned American, European, Middle Eastern, and Asian businesses across many different countries, in the last 20 years, I have seen the insides of more offices than I prefer to count. Despite the variety of jobs and employers I have worked for, the similarities of office life all over the world are striking. The problems experienced by junior associates, executive staff, and C.E.O.s, though at different levels of complexity, are remarkably alike. Equally similar are the promoted solutions in M.B.A. degrees, associated business books, and soft skills development training programs. What do they have in common? They do not work. Why? Because they do not tackle the core issue. Life will become less complicated when we accept the dynamics of office life as is. I learned this through trial and error. Through this book, I hope to save you from these trials and tribulations and guide you. You will learn how to compartmentalize your life through the insights gained through this book and enjoy your limited time on this planet. So why the stress? Why the drama? Yet there is still so much of this commotion in the workplace. Most, if not all, of it, can be avoided. Read "How to Survive the Office" and contribute your office stories to www.HowToSurviveTheOffice.com to help heal the office life.

Book Synopsis How to Overcome Work Stress: An Office Survival Guide by : Peter J. Copeland
Download or read book How to Overcome Work Stress: An Office Survival Guide written by Peter J. Copeland and published by EBC Edizioni. This book was released on 2022-02-15 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all, more or less, suffer from stress. We stress with family, with girlfriends, with friends. We stress when something is wrong, in any area of our lives. But there comes a point when this malaise begins to show itself prominently. To ruin our days, our relationships, our productivity. Stress, we can say it, is the real and insidious disease of modern life. Think about it for a little while: What is your main cause of tension? What makes you nervous, irritable and, to some extent, even sad? What makes you ineffective in relationships? What would you give to feel at least a little bit better? Everyone has their own paturnias, everyone has their own daily challenges to face. This book is about how to deal with stress but in a very specific area, namely the work environment. We spend a third of our lives in a place where we have to produce, be on a computer, relate to other people. How can we even remotely underestimate the importance of the quality of time we spend at work? While stress is part of any work-related problem, it can be really detrimental as well as crippling. Long story short: a little stress is good. But don’t overdo it, don’t break the string. Never! When you are overstretched, not only do you become a magnet for all kinds of ailments possible and imaginable, but you also begin to exhibit a degree of inefficiency. And that’s not good. Neither for you nor for your team. This happens because when you’re physically and emotionally imbalanced, your ability to cope with everyday situations becomes less polished (and your resistance to illnesses lowers as well, did you know?). With this book you’ll get all the information you need to better manage all that tension you accumulate every day in the workplace and, to some extent, it can make your life a little less hard. As we’ll see later, you’ll need to learn how to organize your days, but more importantly, how to handle relationships with a new spirit. This text is dedicated to all those who are experiencing a frustrating situation related to the world of business and relationships with colleagues, with the hope of being able to bring a pinch of serenity and lightness in your lives. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction Only your decision can change things Always put your mental and physical well-being on your priority list.
