ISBN: 0399181822
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together

Job Search Sucks!

Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Job Search Sucks! If you are looking for work, will be looking for work, or have given up on the whole job hunting experience, you will know how true that is. But, if you want work, you gotta do the job search thing, so why not get a laugh or two and some great advice along the way? Read it all? Heard it all? Don't be so sure. Being fired is a horrible experience. A layoff may sound less brutal, but in reality it's just a firing in camouflage; you are still being given the boot, only with benefits (sometimes). Just as crappy is having to reenter the workforce after an accident or illness has shattered your confidence, maybe even stolen your ability to do a job you loved and were good at. Or you have just graduated and have no clue what you really want to do with your life or who is going to hire you without experience. Whatever your story, the fact is, some horrific, brutal, or crappy event has forced you to look for work. You just might find a new idea or two in this frank and funny look at what we all know to be true Job Search Sucks!

Book Description
Why Are Careers in Flux? Are you lost, hopeless, or angry in your job search? Do you feel alone, cheated, ripped off, or not sure what to do next? Or are you curious to understand the massive shift in the job hunting market currently rippling through the career transition landscape? What if you could understand what is driving this sea change and how Generation Flux is flourishing? What if you knew precisely where the profitable job opportunities lie? And what careers to avoid? Is College Worth it Anymore? Most of us have been told or believed that going to college after high school was worth it in the long run. But is student loan debt really worth the investment? Or is it a debt trap? Why do university tuition rates continue to skyrocket past the rate of simple inflation? Allusion of Career Security What if following the traditional career path, with its promise of a retirement pension after 20 or 30 years of dedicated service is not as secure as we think? The good news is that even though the definition of career success is changing, seeming instability in income and job tenure can also lead to be a more rewarding and fulfilling career. See how Generation Flux is succeeding with shorter job tenures and/or multiple streams of income. Whether you or someone you know is in college or just starting out, gainfully employed (and concerned about career ambiguity), underemployed, or have been downsized, rightsized, laid off, fired, cast off, or otherwise in career transition, Why Career Advice Sucks is for you. Satisfaction in Spite of Complexity With 15 years of twists and turns, Miles Anthony Smith delves into the ups and downs of his career, shares many funny, some sad, and other frustrating stories that will have you laughing and crying as you earn an advanced degree through his many mistakes and missteps. He paints a future of growing complexity where career success is defined by those who are willing to take calculated risks. Are you willing to join the ranks of Generation Flux? Create Career Clarity Miles will guide you on a job search journey to understand the past, confront the career development present, and conquer future career success. You will learn why traditional career planning is dead, how to become agile, adapt to ambiguity, and develop resilience no matter what the job change market throws your way.
