Book Synopsis #ENTRYLEVELtweet by : Heather R. Huhman
Download or read book #ENTRYLEVELtweet written by Heather R. Huhman and published by Happy About. This book was released on 2010 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The statistics are frightening. The National Association of Colleges and Employers' (NACE) 2009 Student Survey shows that just 19.7 percent of 2009 graduates who applied for a job actually have one. And, according to NACE's Job Outlook 2010 Fall Preview, employers expect to hire 7 percent fewer graduates from the college Class of 2010 than they hired from the Class of 2009. What's worse, this issue cannot completely be blamed on a poor economy. Entry-level hiring should have increased because many employers have laid off more expensive, experienced talent. So what's preventing new talent from entering the career marketplace? Millennials--those individuals born between 1977 and 1997 and also known as Generation Y--often expect college to teach them how to find jobs and are disappointed upon finding out this is not the case. And the career advice they do receive comes from ""authority figures"" (i.e., campus career center staff), whom they do not believe or trust. These graduates need practical and insightful guidance from someone who knows the challenges they face and how to overcome them. ""#ENTRYLEVELtweet Book01"" by career expert Heather R. Huhman is a must-read for college students and recent grads who want to learn what it takes to find, land, and succeed in an entry-level career. In 140 tweet-style tips, Huhman provides a roadmap of what to do to impress hiring managers, how to create stand-out ""career tools,"" and how to network during your job search with confidence in yourself and what you have to offer potential employers. Want to get ahead of your college colleagues? Get your copy of '#ENTRYLEVELtweet Book01' now, and let it guide you from classroom to career in approximately fifteen minutes--the perfect length of time for a busy student or job seeker. '#ENTRYLEVELtweet Book01' is part of the THINKaha series whose 100-page books contain 140 well-thought-out quotes (tweets/ahas).
Download or read book Cubed written by Nikil Saval and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2015-01-06 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable Book • Daily Beast Best Nonfiction of 2014 • Inc. Magazine's Most Thought-Provoking Books of the Year “Man is born free, but he is everywhere in cubicles.” How did we get from Scrooge’s office to “Office Space”? From bookkeepers in dark countinghouses to freelancers in bright cafes? What would the world be like without the vertical file cabinet? What would the world be like without the office at all? In Cubed, Nikil Saval chronicles the evolution of the office in a fascinating, often funny, and sometimes disturbing anatomy of the white-collar world and how it came to be the way it is. Drawing on the history of architecture and business, as well as a host of pop culture artifacts—from Mad Men to Dilbert (and, yes, The Office)—and ranging in time from the earliest clerical houses to the surprisingly utopian origins of the cubicle to the funhouse campuses of Silicon Valley, Cubed is an all-encompassing investigation into the way we work, why we do it the way we do (and often don’t like it), and how we might do better.

She thinks bad boys are, well, bad. Worst of all, she's my nemesis from back home. It's messed up that I'm stuck on Joni, because she's the biggest threat to my goal of winning the Heisman Trophy. It kills me that she's also a hot tamale as my grandpa would say. If he were still alive. Losing grandpa started my trouble. Being with Joni could ruin me. Or it could save me.

Seth Jerome is perfectly content with his go-nowhere job at the Holiday Helpline, working the graveyard shift in an empty office, going home to his empty loft apartment and numb to everything about his empty, workaday life. But when he is assigned an intern for the spring semester, Seth’s world is turned upside down—and that’s before he meets Lyle, the nerdy, slight, bookish and utterly irresistible college sophomore he’ll be spending the semester with. Lyle McPhee is more than happy to blitz through Carlton College the same way he blitzed through high school: hard, fast and anonymous, with no one to question his illicit desires or, for that matter, indulge them since he’s far too shy for anything as intimate as dating another boy. But all that changes when he meets Seth, his coworker at Holiday Helpline. For underneath Seth’s sculptured physique and alpha aesthetic is a big, old softie waiting to be lured out of his shell—and into Lyle’s bed. And for once, Lyle is more than willing to take the plunge and lose his V-card to the sexiest jock on campus! PUBLISHER NOTE: Contemporary Erotic M/M Romance. New Adult/College Holiday Romance. 27,700 words. All characters depicted in this work of fiction are 18 years of age or older.

Book excerpt: INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • A bestselling dystopian novel that tackles surveillance, privacy and the frightening intrusions of technology in our lives—a “compulsively readable parable for the 21st century” (Vanity Fair). When Mae Holland is hired to work for the Circle, the world’s most powerful internet company, she feels she’s been given the opportunity of a lifetime. The Circle, run out of a sprawling California campus, links users’ personal emails, social media, banking, and purchasing with their universal operating system, resulting in one online identity and a new age of civility and transparency. As Mae tours the open-plan office spaces, the towering glass dining facilities, the cozy dorms for those who spend nights at work, she is thrilled with the company’s modernity and activity. There are parties that last through the night, there are famous musicians playing on the lawn, there are athletic activities and clubs and brunches, and even an aquarium of rare fish retrieved from the Marianas Trench by the CEO. Mae can’t believe her luck, her great fortune to work for the most influential company in the world—even as life beyond the campus grows distant, even as a strange encounter with a colleague leaves her shaken, even as her role at the Circle becomes increasingly public. What begins as the captivating story of one woman’s ambition and idealism soon becomes a heart-racing novel of suspense, raising questions about memory, history, privacy, democracy, and the limits of human knowledge.

Download or read book Tough Choices written by Carly Fiorina and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2011-02-22 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By accepting the CEO job at Hewlett-Packard, an iconic company that had lost its way, Carly Fiorina confirmed her status as the most powerful businesswoman in America. But she also made herself a target for everyone who disliked her bold leadership style and resented her rapid rise. For six years, as she led HP through drastic changes and a controversial merger, Fiorina was the subject of endless analysis, debate and speculation. Yet in all that time, the public never really got to know the person behind the persona. Tough Choices finally reveals the real Carly Fiorina, who writes with brutal honesty about her triumphs and failures, her deepest fears and most painful confrontations – including her sudden and very public firing by HP's board of directors. Tough Choices shows what it's really like to lead a major corporation in a time of great change while trying to stay true to your values. It's one woman's inspiring story, along with her unique perspective on leadership, technology, globalisation, sexism and many other issues. "Superb... certain to be a hit. Ms Fiorina is at her best when recounting the travails of a woman in a male-dominated culture. She is also good in her psychological descriptions of the constant betrayals that occur in corporate bureaucracies. The woman that emerges from these pages is cultured, sensitive and vulnerable, even as she acts tough." —The Economist

Meanwhile, Lincoln O'Neill can't believe this is his job now—reading other people's e-mail. When he applied to be “internet security officer,” he pictured himself building firewalls and crushing hackers—not writing up a report every time a sports reporter forwards a dirty joke. When Lincoln comes across Beth's and Jennifer's messages, he knows he should turn them in. He can't help being entertained, and captivated, by their stories. But by the time Lincoln realizes he's falling for Beth, it's way too late to introduce himself. What would he even say...?

Book excerpt: In the old days it took a decade or more in a job to become fed up with it. That time has become significantly shorter, and the drama of frustration with one's career choice and current job is being played out in thousands of companies and cities in India. The country is experiencing an economic boom, and along with boom times comes greed, so there are bound to be countless companies that turn their employees into virtual slaves.

This book is intended as a fantasy journey for employees toiling themselves into oblivion, and perhaps offers them a rare pause in their busy lives to think about how simple life used to be before companies and the industrial revolution ruined it. This book follows the life of the author as he deliberately and purposefully dismantles his corporate life in the big city and heads for the hills to live a simpler life. It recounts the days and activities of his family as they set up life at a cottage at a remote hill station farm.

Book Synopsis Internet for the People by : Ben Tarnoff
Download or read book Internet for the People written by Ben Tarnoff and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2022-06-14 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Internet for the People, leading tech writer Ben Tarnoff offers an answer. The internet is broken, he argues, because it is owned by private firms and run for profit. Google annihilates your privacy and Facebook amplifies right-wing propaganda because it is profitable to do so. But the internet wasn't always like this-it had to be remade for the purposes of profit maximization, through a years-long process of privatization that turned a small research network into a powerhouse of global capitalism. Tarnoff tells the story of the privatization that made the modern internet, and which set in motion the crises that consume it today. The solution to those crises is straightforward: deprivatize the internet. Deprivatization aims at creating an internet where people, and not profit, rule. It calls for shrinking the space of the market and diminishing the power of the profit motive. It calls for abolishing the walled gardens of Google, Facebook, and the other giants that dominate our digital lives and developing publicly and cooperatively owned alternatives that encode real democratic control. To build a better internet, we need to change how it is owned and organized. Not with an eye towards making markets work better, but towards making them less dominant. Not in order to create a more competitive or more rule-bound version of privatization, but to overturn it. Otherwise, a small number of executives and investors will continue to make choices on everyone's behalf, and these choices will remain tightly bound by the demands of the market. It's time to demand an internet by, and for, the people now.
