This book, yet another highly recommended book by the inimitable Harrison Barnes, cautions why it is important to be careful whilst choosing a recruiter. There are strong pluses and negatives to recruiters and a wrong choice could mean a wrong job.
Even though the author suggests that best way of seeking a job, is to find a job of your liking on your own and let the employers hire you on the basis of the review of your information; it is sometimes more prudent to seek the assistance of the recruiter, who will have knowledge of more job openings and probably be in a better position to find you a job.

The Designing Career Guide, a publication of DesigningCrossing, is an exploration of the many types of design careers in existence, including industrial design, graphic and web design, video game design, multimedia design, exhibit design, interior design, fashion design, and building design. Not only does this e-book provide detailed information on the similarities and differences between each discipline, but it also provides the reader with the requirements and expectations of each.

The Designing Career Guide is an essential read for designers and those considering a career in design. It provides current job market information and future growth expectations for each discipline, as well as addressing the specific ways in which the recession has impacted the field.

Design is relevant to nearly every industry, thus ensuring job opportunities in a variety of areas. While designers in all industries must be able to organize the productive process and visualize the final outcome, training expectations for each discipline vary widely. For example, jobs in graphic or web design require knowledge of Adobe® Photoshop® CS3 software, while jobs in the field of fashion design generally require the completion of fine arts classes and an understanding of color, form, pattern making, and cutting techniques. Other design areas such as building design, require certification through the completion of architecture or structural engineering courses. Design is connected to just about everything in our world in some way. This e-book examines these connections, many of which are often overlooked, and explores the career associations behind each.

The Compliance Career Guide is an e-book offering advice and information on how to land and keep a compliance job and how to advance in the compliance industry once you do land that job.

A career in compliance necessarily entails a good amount of responsibility. Any organization depending on a compliance officer or other compliance employee expects that individual to both understand and have knowledge of applicable laws and regulations concerning the given organization’s operations. That being said, a compliance employee serves as the stopgap to prevent any violations of the law by the organization.

The high level of responsibility associated with a compliance post is compounded by the fact that laws are constantly changing and are often applicable or not applicable based on certain contingencies. As such, the ideal compliance employee knows the law and his/her company like the back of his/her hand and is perpetually aware of any changes or updates to either one.

With the nature of the compliance industry in mind, the professionals at ComplianceCrossing have compiled stories and tips from top compliance professionals into this e-book, The Compliance Career Guide, as a means of shedding greater light on frequent challenges and scenarios faced by those operating within the compliance industry. Not only does the e-book provide detailed insight into the nature of the compliance industry as a general matter, but it also provides useful information ranging from tips on how to land a compliance job and excel in an interview for a compliance position to information on specific, large subsets of the compliance industry, such as, corporate compliance and bank compliance work.

The Human Resources Career Guide is a collection of articles, written by HR professionals, covering a variety of issues that human resources personnel commonly deal with. This HRCrossing publication provides insight into the human resources profession that truly can be appreciated by those who are involved, or hope to become involved, in the field.

This e-book encourages positive relations and job satisfaction by providing solutions to issues that often plague the human resources profession. While the typical duties of the human resources professional may look benign, they must be handled delicately to prevent the development of a troubling situation. Creating and enforcing HR policies, serving certain employer and employee needs, and hiring new employees are all duties of the human resources professional, and all potentially dangerous tasks.

As the enforcer of HR policies and a provider of employer and employee needs, the human resources representative must possess tact and the ability to balance seemingly conflicting roles. Any individual in this position is forced to “walk the tightrope” as he or she attempts to harmonize commitments to employers, employees, and the state. A person in this role must be strict but tactful, so as to avoid offending anyone. While the key is to develop a compromise between employer and employee, this is not always possible and the human resources representative is often caught in the middle. The Human Resources Career Guide addresses complex dilemmas, like this, thus providing HR professionals with the tools to efficiently work through such situations.

Other common areas of concern to HR professionals involve employee performance and employee retention. This e-book provides advice on the methods of successfully hiring, retaining, and supporting employees as a means of establishing a productive work environment.

This e-book functions as a career guide, providing valuable information on achieving and maintaining career success in an ailing economy. The Psychology of Success was written for those in the legal field, but it provides relevant and invaluable advice and tips for all career fields.

It explores the common ways that people unknowingly sabotage their own success and addresses methods of recognizing and overcoming these poisonous behaviors and thought patterns. It introduces the dangers of allowing negativity to dictate career choices and teaches the benefits of positive thought. In order to progress in your career, it is crucial to have faith in yourself and your goals. However, many fall victim to self-doubt and fall into a pattern of listening to the opinions of others, rather than trusting in themselves. This e-book provides instruction on maintaining a positive outlook and, in the process, developing a sense of satisfaction that extends to your professional life.

The Psychology of Success goes beyond the discussion of self and delves into how others impact your career success. It addresses the issue of establishing trust and respecting others as means of advancing in your career. Those with a sense of entitlement tend to find jealousy in others’ success, which often hinders their own career advancement. Identifying with others and accepting criticism is crucial in the development of any career but unfortunately those with “Narcissistic Entitlement Syndrome” tend to place themselves above their peers, creating a divide that usually results in a denial of the professional recognition they so firmly believe they deserve.

Truth or Consequences, the fourth book in the “Up The Ladder in a Down Economy” series, is authored by Harrison Barnes, the founder and CEO of the highly regarded Employment Research Institute. This e-book is a career advancement guide that touches upon a broad range of issues of importance to professionals in today’s anemic economy. It provides valuable advice for individuals in all career stages, from job candidate to seasoned professional.

Communication is crucial in any career field but many fail to communicate effectively in the work environment, thus failing to present their true value to their employer. This guide provides instruction on communicating with yourself and with your employer. It examines how the successful development of communication skills can lead to a rewarding relationship of trust between employer and employee. But it goes beyond verbal communication, and also explores the actions and behaviors that can either establish or destroy employee credibility.

Many believe that a little embellishment on a resume will only lead to an increased interest by employers in the crucial hiring stages. However, these individuals fail to realize that the discovery of such resume enhancements can lead to a complete loss of credibility and will likely cost them the job in the long run. Issues of credibility will follow an individual throughout his or her career and should therefore be taken seriously. This e-book defines credibility and provides detailed examples of credibility issues within the legal field.

In addition to the benefits of positive and effective communication, the importance of consistency is also studied. While an employer may be impressed by a well-done project, an employee must be consistent in order to be of true value to the company or firm that he or she works for. Playing by the rules is critical in establishing yourself as a trustworthy employee who is capable of working as part of the team. Show less

The current economic climate provides seemingly little job security for the average individual, however there are certain steps that an individual can take to make the best of a bad situation. Keeping Your Job When Everybody Else is Losing Theirs is an e-book geared towards showing individuals how to hold onto a job even amidst massive layoffs and cuts. It showcases how to effectively separate yourself from your coworkers and how to guarantee job security by constantly producing value for your employer.

Keeping Your Job When Everybody Else is Losing Theirs is the second e-book in the career education e-book series titled “Up the Ladder in a Down Economy.” Its focus is on obtaining job security in tough economic times. In addition to teaching survival tactics, it shows its readers how to utilize such survival tactics to earn promotions and esteem at work both during and beyond an economic crisis.

Because a business can collapse and a job can be lost so readily during trying economic times, such as the current ones, it is essential to be able to roll with the punches and adapt readily to different requests and demands from both your employer and the market in general. By remaining flexible and continuing to provide value to an employer or client, an individual will always have a commodity to trade on the marketplace.

In touching on the following subjects: how to produce quality work and get it noticed; the do’s and don’ts for creating and maintaining a successful career; how to exhibit effective and positive behaviors in the workplace; and how to translate the value of quality, commitment and kindness into money, this e-book demonstrates how to keep your job and even how to advance when the market is in a less than ideal state.

Keeping Your Job When Everybody Else is Losing Theirs is a necessary read for anyone who has ever felt a lack of job security. In fact, it is a must read for any employee, given the volatile nature of the current economy. Show less
