In essence youOCOre getting both an entertaining story along with some valuable advice. For example, you'll learn: *how recruiters are often trained to lie *what the phrase slinging shit at a screen means and why it reflects the philosophy of far too many recruiters *why it's vitally important that companies vet their recruiters face to face and not over the phone *the dirty tricks recruiters use to get leads on job orders *the obvious disregard, even contempt, many recruiters feel for job candidates *why job applicants should never believe recruiters when they ask for references unless they have job orders in hand *how honesty is the most difficult policy in a profession riddled with liars and cheats *why the recruiting business and telemarketing business are kindred spirits *the underhanded tricks recruiters use to gain the names and addresses of company executives and other hiring authorities *why recruiting is the essential dog-eat-dog business where survival of the fittest takes on biting meaning *why recruiting managers often view the recruiter-company client relationship as essentially adversarial *what broadcasting resumes means and how it (justifiably) results in lawsuits against recruiters *how unscrupulous recruiters encourage job candidates to lie on their resumes *why job candidates must keep in touch with hiring authorities of companies during and after the interviewing process, and not rely on what recruiters tell them *why many company executives won't deal with recruiters under any circumstances.

"You will chuckle knowingly at this humorous account of one of the great scams of American society. With his new book, Willard will recruit many to the need for a national health care program, something similar to Canada's."--Frank Gormlie, Publisher, THE WHOLE DAMN PIE SHOP, San Diego's publication of progressive opinion.

The illustrations punctuate the key points with superb irony; the reference section adds the sheer weight of professional numbers, & the James Gollin chapters afford a wonderful psychological profile of the recruiting rackets & 'warm body' agent. The section by lawyer & ex-FBI agent John Gregg clearly shows why health insurance racketeers must never be allowed to participate in a national healthcare program."--Fred Peters, Educator, San Diego, California. "Not critical of legitimate insurance services...but quite correctly critical of the shady aspects of the industry."--Simon Casady, LaJolla, California, Former publisher, El Cajon Californian.

Book Dirty Little Secrets

Download or read book Dirty Little Secrets written by Larry Sabato and published by Crown. This book was released on 1996 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Political corruption in America is worse today than it has been since the Watergate era. Americans know it, and the politicians have known it for years. Urgent calls for reform have become standard fare, but nothing changes. A Democrat President and a Republican Congress were both elected on the strength of their promises of reform. Neither has delivered. Americans contemplate the tottering remains of our ethically bankrupt political system with despair. Fact: The Christian Coalition's 1994 voter guides appear to have been skewered to favor Republican candidates in key congressional races across the country, in direct contravention of federal election law. The truth is, the politicians couldn't be happier dickering over the remains of the welfare state. Because, as you'll learn in Dirty Little Secrets, there is probably not a politician in America who does not benefit directly, personally, and continually from the status quo. Fact: The state Democratic party in Tennessee paid sums in excess of six figures to a number of groups and organizations for various political services in 1994. The problem? None of the groups actually exist, except on paper. Our Politicians, from those in the highest reaches of the Republican and Democratic parties to those in the humblest state congressional districts, evade, massage, and even break the law in order to hold on to power. But instead of merely unmasking corrupt politicians in every region of the country, Dirty Little Secrets analyzes why corruption persists in American politics, despite scandal after scandal, and in spite of periodic bursts of reform. Fact: On the eve of the 1994 elections, mock "pollsters" called up thousand ofvoters in one Wisconsin congressional district to ask whether their electoral decisions would be influenced if they knew one of the candidates was a lesbian. Most politicians want to do the right thing. But they also want to be reelected, and the system is far stronger than any honest man or woman. The influence of money and the intricacies of the levers of power make it easier for politicians to ignore the law than to obey it. In Dirty Little Secrets you will read of the conservative movement's hidden manipulations in 1994, and learn the truth about Newt Gingrich's twenty-year program of political destabilization. The history of the corrupt House the Democrats built with the help of liberal interest groups stands revealed. And Larry J. Sabato and Glenn R. Simpson expose the corrupt and illegal tactics both parties have used for decades to protect and promote their own power. Fact: In 1994, in Alabama, one local election was decided by three hundred votes. Seventeen hundred ballots cast in that election were illegally admitted absentee ballots, some of them submitted by dead people. Sabato and Simpson's fresh reporting and thousands of hours of background research include interviews with influential politicians, consultants, and political operatives, Freedom of Information Act requests, and thousands of pages of obscure campaign reports. They prove corruption is not about bad apples or colorful local traditions. And they offer a completely original plan for reform--Deregulation Plus--that will frighten both parties and make the American electorate smile for the first time in years. Dirty Little Secrets pulls together the corruption story from all parts of the country sooverwhelmingly that no one--from the White House to your house--will be able to deny that political reform must be one of the key issues of the 1996 election campaign.

Download or read book Perfect End written by William Marshall and published by Prelude Books. This book was released on 2017-10-19 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What killed every policeman in Fade Street Station? Their six mutilated bodies were found in the basement, lined up like wine bottles, and there are giant claw marks on the walls. Every object and surface in the station has been wiped clean...and the only witness, a vagrant, claims the murderer was a giant cat who walked like a man. Impossible to believe, yet in William Marshall’s kaleidoscopic vision of Hong Kong, nothing is as crazy or straightforward as it first appears. Detectives Christopher O’Yee and Harry Feiffer are used to investigating bizarre cases, but when they discover that the killer is the master of an ancient weapon, and that four more policemen have gone missing from Fade Street, even they cannot imagine what to expect next. Just to make matters worse, Typhoon Pandora, the storm of the century, is about to make land. The seventh book in William Marshall’s classic series sees the colourful cops of Yellowthread Street drawn into battle against an evil more terrifying than the supernatural... and much closer to home. Join Christopher O’Yee and Harry Feiffer on an unforgettable investigation into police corruption. Prepare for lowlifes, surreal humour, fast-paced dialogue and streetwise action. Praise for the Yellowthread Street series: “Marshall has the rare gift of juggling scary suspense and wild humor and making them both work.” Washington Post Book World “Marshall’s style – blending the hilarious, the surreal, and the poignant – remains inimitable and not easily resisted.” San Francisco Chronicle “Marshall has few peers as an author who melds the wildest comedy and tragedy in narratives of nonstop action.” Publishers Weekly “Marshall is building a growing, iconoclastic body of work that mixes weird fantasy [and] wayward characterization . . . to produce a subtle, charged, atmospheric, lush fiction hybrid sure to satisfy those with a taste for mysteries on the far edges.” Philadelphia Inquirer “Despite the wild humor, Marshall’s stories contain excellent police procedure, real suspense, and fine irony . . . incessantly scary.” Chicago Tribune “Among the best police procedural series on the market.” Detroit Free Press “As an inspired poet of the bizarre, [Marshall] orchestrates underlying insanity into an apocalyptic vision of the future.” New York Times Book Review “Marshall’s novels feature seemingly supernatural events that turn out to have logical, if not precisely rational, origins. He has savage fun with police procedure.” TIME “Nobody rivals Marshall’s ability to expose the links between comic hysteria and the most mundane human foibles, from greed to cowardice to simple funk.” Kirkus Reviews “Moves at the speed of a bullet; don’t read it aloud or you’ll run out of breath.” Chicago Sun-Times
