Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With more than 23 million Americans looking for work, job generation is a priority for restoring the American economy. Yet many of the unemployed and underemployed are not looking for just any job, but the right job, one that will complement their skill sets and desires. The right choice for many is working alongside innovative entrepreneurs who are playing a major role in changing today's business climate. Steven R. Musick, owner of the decades old company Destiny Capital and a Professor at the University of Denver, believes the key to job generation is tapping into America's exceptional entrepreneurial spirit fueled by hundreds of thousands of young, creative people. But once they have found their Big Idea, many creative minds often find themselves a loss for how to make it take seed, find capital to expand, distinguish themselves in the marketplace from their competitors along with a myriad of other issues that face an entrepreneur. At the same time, with millions on the job market, how do potential employees stand out during an interview, knowing the right questions to ask to separate themselves from the sea of other candidates?Professor Musick has the answers in this informative, challenging book, a key component of his entrepreneurial class. This book is full of real life examples of model companies whose time-tested management techniques and forward thinking processes have made themselves leaders in their industries, always ahead of their competitors with new ideas that allow their companies to grow, adding jobs to the American economy. Life lessons are also here for job seekers, with stories from workers whose thought provoking interviews have allowed them to clinch the job, letting their unique skills become integral components which have helped propel their chosen companies to the top of their sectors. With this book, Professor Musick shows that job generation, the way to keep America on a steady path of growth, can be achieved by those with the right entrepreneurial spirit and the skills to keep the economy humming. How will America get back on the right track? Job generation is the answer.

Book Review 1: "A collection of intimate interviews with people regarding the personal, familial, cultural, and geographic factors in their working lives. Inspired by Studs Terkel’s Working (1974), which profiled ordinary American workers, editor Skees (God Among the Shakers, 1998) takes the concept global. Six of her 16 subjects live in the United States, including a slack-key guitarist in Honolulu, an architect in Cincinnati, and a recruiter/headhunter in Tampa, Florida. The rest are on other continents, including a coffee farmer in Nicaragua, a Masai warrior in Tanzania, a married couple running an eco-friendly factory in India, a rickshaw puller in Bangladesh, and a private equity manager in Hong Kong. Skees organizes the material into five sections (“Entrepreneurship,” “Industry and Transportation,” “Farming, Food, and Animals,” “Finance and Technology,” and “Music & Arts”), but each first-person account stands on its own, and they can be read in any order. A map, photograph, and editor’s note introduce each, and footnotes supplement the text. Skees nimbly maintains a consistent narrative flow, with none of the readability problems that are common in transcriptions. Whereas Terkel packed a great many workers into his book, Skees gives her subjects more space to muse, digress, and occasionally contradict themselves. The results are highly personal, often poignant, sometimes gritty, and routinely granular—perhaps more than some readers may expect, or even desire. The editor sets out to demonstrate that “our job = our self.” But such detailed portraits also reveal that formula’s commutative property—how personal preferences, chance, circumstances, and location shape each person’s job choice and performance. Skees is a nonprofit international development specialist, and doing work that contributes to the greater good emerges as a strong theme. As a result, this is a small, and perhaps skewed, sample of the world’s workforce (although a second volume is forthcoming), but it will inspire readers by showcasing workers across diverse industries, income levels, countries, and cultures expressing how they find meaning in their work beyond earning money. A vocational and sociological travelogue that readers will find to be time well spent." -- Kirkus Book Review 2: "Book 2 of the series, MY JOB: REAL PEOPLE AT WORK AROUND THE WORLD, features fifteen true stories by professionals in the North America, the Caribbean, Central America, Southeast Asia, the U.K., and Africa, in such fields as addiction recovery, agribusiness, college admissions, ecotourism, and diplomacy. Each narrator begins by outlining what it's really like to do their job and ends up revealing their innermost traumas and dreams. More than a virtual travel guide to villages, farms, and cities around the world, MY JOB Book 2 documents the nitty-gritty reality of each occupation, and highlights unique cultures and experiences, yet illustrates how much we have in common through our shared human experience of work. BookLife Prize - 2019 Plot/Idea: 10 out of 10 Originality: 9 out of 10 Prose: 8 out of 10 Character/Execution: 8 out of 10 Overall: 8.75 out of 10 Assessment: Idea/Concept: "The stories of our jobs become the stories of our lives," writes Suzanne Skees in her introduction to this second volume in her "My Job" series. Skees's project surveys the on-the-ground truth of what work is like right now, around the world, as the dynamics of labor are upended by automation and contract work. Skees demonstrates her acumen as a curator and editor -- gathering a diverse roster of workers to tell their stories -- and as a listener. She invites her subjects to discuss their careers, their hopes, their disappointments, and the changes they've seen at length, all with disarming frankness. Her subjects include a nursing student in Honduras; an environmental activist in American coal country; a banana farmer in Uganda; a college admissions counselor in Rwanda; and a "fringe diplomat" in Tel Aviv. Few books dig so deeply into life as it's actually lived, with such unsparing intimacy. Prose: Skees's own prose is sharp, clear, and purposeful, but outside of introductions and some notes, most of the book come straight from the mouths of her subjects through first person monologue. Skees breaks the chapters up into short labeled sections. This is helpful for skimmers, but the shortness of the individual sections gives the chapters a stop-and-start feeling, impeding narrative momentum. Originality: This isn't the first book to survey workers in their own words about work, nor even the first one by Skees to do so, but the author has selected a fresh, fascinating cross section of people to reveal truths about the world and this current moment. Execution: The book offers insights, wisdom, challenges to orthodox thinking, and some arresting first-person storytelling. It's both eye-opening and a pleasure to learn about the day-to-day work of a Zambian "mobile-money agent" and to discover how that work is vital to a population outside of the banking system. That said, the narrators' individual voices sound somewhat similar to each other, and the speakers too rarely offer up surprising or engaging anecdotes. The emphasis here is strongly on the work itself, and the sociopolitical context that created the opportunity for such work. There's great value in capturing that, but the book might prove more enticing for general audiences with a greater emphasis on voice and storytelling." -- Booklife/Publisher's Weekly

Download or read book The Feminist Economics of Trade written by Irene van Staveren and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2012-08-06 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unravelling the complex relationship between gender inequality and trade, this is the first book to combine the tools of economic and gender analysis to examine the relationship between international trade and gender relations. It brings together fourteen contributions from a variety of economic perspectives, including structuralist, institutionalist, neoclassical and Post-Keynesian by a range of authors including Lourdes Benería, William Darity, Marzia Fontana and Mariama Williams to demonstrate what feminist economics has contributed to the analysis of international trade, through theoretical modelling, econometric analysis and policy-oriented contributions. It includes evidence from industrialized, semi-industrialized, and agrarian economies, using country case studies and cross-country analysis. Arguing that trade expansion and reduction of gender inequality can be combined, but only if an appropriate mix and sequence of trade and other economic policies is implemented, this book is key reading for all students of international economics, gender and cultural studies and politics and international relations, amongst other disciplines.
Download or read book Job One 2 0 written by Peter M. Magolda and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2014-04-15 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this second edition of Job One, editors Peter M. Magolda and Jill Ellen Carnaghi place new professionals' stories “center stage.” The book focuses on narratives written by new professionals about their introduction and transitions into Student Affairs work. These stories document the joys and angst felt as new professionals prepare to transition from graduate school to work, search for their first Student Affairs position, assimilate campus norms, formulate a professional identity, satisfy supervisors' expectations, mediate cultural conflicts, and remain true to their personal and professional values. This book is a useful resource inviting new professionals, supervisors, and faculty to think differently about the on-going education and needs of new professionals, while offering a new perspective for optimizing new professionals' experiences.
