Download or read book Ask a Manager written by Alison Green. This book was released on 2018-05-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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

Book Synopsis Guide to securing part time jobs that fit your schedule by : Laura Malfere
Download or read book Guide to securing part time jobs that fit your schedule written by Laura Malfere. This book was released on 2012-02-24. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK Finding a part-time job to fit your schedule can be a challenge at the best of times, but when you are trawling through the job market during a post-recession era, it becomes much more difficult. You find yourself suddenly pitted against thousands of candidates who all search for the same flexibility, and as a result, you need to make yourself stand out from the crowd. Whether you are a busy parent, a student, or someone who is looking for additional income, all hope is not lost when it comes to finding a part-time job. Most people fail to find part-time jobs because they do not think outside the box. Another common issue is a lack of persistence; finding part-time work is hardly ever easy, so it is necessary to try harder than you would with full-time jobs. By focusing on how you can make the most of your skills, and getting back up each time you are knocked down, you will place yourself on the path to success. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK 2. Consider working in a restaurant or bar. One of the best sources for part-time work that can fit around schedule is a restaurant or bar. If you are over the age of 21 and able to serve alcohol, you should begin applying for bar jobs. As bars operate on a later basis than most other businesses, they are ideal for those who have daytime commitments. 3. Work from home. If working outside of the home doesn’t strike your fancy, and a restaurant or bar job is still not flexible enough, you should consider working from home. The internet may be full of scams that are prepared to rip off hard working people, but if you scratch beneath the surface, it is possible to find a work-from-home opportunity that can act as a great resource of flexible part time work. Jobs where you can operate from home usually require more thinking outside the box than other positions, so think hard about the options that you can explore... Buy a copy to keep reading!

Book Synopsis Half A Job by : Chris Tilly
Download or read book Half A Job written by Chris Tilly. This book was released on 1996-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 20 million people are working part-time in the United States, more than six million of them involuntarily. Both Time and Fortune magazines have run recent cover stories about this constrained faction of the workforce, who tend to earn on average 40 percent less than full-time workers. Addressing this disturbing trend, Chris Tilly presents a current, in-depth analysis of how U.S. businesses use part-time employment, and why they are using it more and more. Worker demand for part-time jobs peaked more than twenty years ago, but employers' desires for cheap labor and schedule flexibility have continued to drive the long-term growth of part-time jobs. Tilly argues that this growth is a reaction to the expanding trade and service industries, which, by their nature, depend on part-time workers. Examining the nature and purposes of the different types of part-time employment, he explores the roots of part-time jobs in the organization of work, and the inadequacies of existing public policies on part-time employment. Using not only statistical analysis but over eighty interviews with employers in the retail and insurance industries, Tilly suggests new approaches to providing flexibility without insecurity.
