Get ready to relearn everything you thought you knew about what a successful career path can look like.

Today, unemployment hovers at a near-record high, yet 3.5 million American jobs remain unfilled. Why? Because companies simply cannot find people with the skills they actually need.

The good news is that this skills gap represents unprecedented opportunities for every person seeking a successful and exciting career. But these opportunities can’t be found inside the walls of the traditional classroom. Instead, they lie in the myriad of educational options that provide the technical, vocational, and soft skills on demand in today’s workplace, such as:

Professional certifications: Start your career faster in fields like bioscience aviation, culinary arts, and medical technology.

Associates degrees: Increase earning potential through inexpensive 2-year programs in subjects like civil engineering, environmental science, education, and nursing.

Apprenticeships: Earn while you learn under the direct supervision of a skilled expert. Far beyond the artisan trades, today’s apprenticeships can be found at companies like Volkswagen and Siemens.

Occupational learning: Refresh or reboot your skill sets through on-the-job training or online education.

In Job U, you’ll learn about these paths to rewarding occupations; where to find them and how to parlay them into the best paying job in any field. And along the way, you’ll meet individuals of all ages who have attained their “dream jobs” through a non-traditional education: from an emergency air paramedic, to a lead mechanic of a racecar team, to an engineer of complex gas turbine generators, to a bestselling cookbook author.

Whether you are recent high school or college graduate, or well along in your career journey, Job U will help you find your way to a more secure and prosperous future.

How To Climb The Corporate Ladder
WITHOUT DOING ANY WORK

Mitch Vandell -bargepole

This is the Book

Your BOSS DOES NOT

Want You to Read!

 

Get Your Copy HERE

 

 

This business self-help book is not about improving yourself or achieving success through your own skills and merits.

 

The Bargepole approach is a system to manage information and perceptions to let you succeed – and get seen as indispensable – regardless of how good (or bad) you are at your job.

Excerpt from review in Forbes:

“As far as management books go, Bargepole Management is something of a rare gem.”
www.forbesmiddleeast.com/en/news/read/article/how-to-become-a-successful-manager/articleid/7871

“The premise steers clear of the cliché business management titles that attempt to inspire young hopefuls into donating their lives to the cause. It throws out the overused CEO quotes, routine back-breaking ideologies and rituals we’re told to adopt in order to be successful. Instead, it replaces them with insight into an age-old management style that we may be fully accustomed to, but without realizing. It’s one that requires minimum effort, but offers maximum gain. Vandell says: “You don’t have to be a good footballer to be a successful football coach. Everyone can be a bargepole manager. This book just teaches you how to sustain it”

MitchVandellProfileLRfade-1

Author Mitch Vandell says:

“Central to the Bargepole system approach is the ability to detach performance from quantifiable measurements such as productivity, efficiency or outcome of specific initiatives. The book shows how the right organizational conditions conducive to applying group psychology can be created to control communication and information to influence overall perceptions to your advantage.”

“BOSS FROM HELL!”:

A Seven Step Program for Dealing With Horrible Bosses

FREE Jan. 13 – 16

Get Your FREE Copy

 

 

You are working for a “Boss from Hell!” – someone who negatively impacts your mental, emotional and physical well-being -– in total, your life — daily. Your boss’s behavior can be negative, brutal, terrible, bullying, stressful, sarcastic, demeaning, harassing, abusive, possibly even criminal (the list of adjectives can go on and on and on) – and all falling in your lap every day of every week of every month for who knows how long. You know this fact all to clearly. What you don’t know is how to deal with your boss in a positive professional manner to resolve the problem that will make your job meaningful and enjoyable. That’s what this book is all about by telling you “this is what you do!” in seven steps:
Step 1 – How to define your problem with your boss and what do you want instead – your objective. This becomes your starting point for determining where are you now? Where do you want to be? How are you going to get there? What do you have to do? As someone once said, “Defining your problem is 50% of the battle.”
Step 2 – How to gather data about your problem, what others have done in similar situations, what different ways are there for coping, what you can do and what you shouldn’t do. All of this data gathering is critical to you if you want to develop a solid foundation for planning short and long-term actions to be successful.
Step 3 – How to evaluate the data and interpret what it means. At this point, you should see the problem in different lights, the different paths you can take, what can work and what can fail.
Step 4 – How to list your options and approaches you can take from the most positive results-focused ones to those you can scrap.
Step 5 – How to select your best option and develop a PROACTIVE plan of action that is specific, realistic, and comprehensive in dealing with your “Boss from Hell!”
Step 6 – How to Implement you

PROACTIVE plan on a professional basis with “do’s” and “don’ts” to watch out for.
Step 7 – How to follow-up, modify as needed, revise your plan accordingly. Why? Because you will find that you problem is part of a never-ending story – you can resolve you “Boss from Hell” problem, but you must always take steps never to fall into it again. If you do, be prepared to handle the problem again. You should always be planning and preparing for staying on top of you career as long as you are in the work force..

Job Interview Tips That Don’t Suck –

How to Ace a Job Interview (and Land the Frickin’ Job)

By Benjamin Paul

 

FREE for a LIMITED Time!

Most job interview tips consist of little more than:

a) memorize some job interview questions

b) dress up in job interview attire that doesn’t make you look homeless and

c) not sound like a sociopath

And these are all helpful. (Especially the sociopath part.)

 

But acing your job interview requires more than just wearing a nice pair of shoes and knowing how to answer the “What’s your biggest weakness?”

Crushing your job interview means tailoring your interview to the specific company you’re conversing with.

Using the information that the job description provides you…

In a super, sneaky, ninja way to kill it at the interview (and get the frickin’ job.)

And that’s why I wrote “Job Interview Tips That Don’t Suck”…

In Chapter 1, we cover the “7 Biggest, Brain-Dead Mistakes Applicants Make in their Job Interview” (and How to Avoid Them) – and most of this stuff you’ve never heard before.

In Chapter 2, we go over “Research, Your #1 Job Interview Weapon” – and this goes way beyond the usual, boring old “check out the company website” crap.

In Chapter 3, we share “How to Become a Totally, Unstopabble Amazing Job Interview Applicant” – this chapter alone will make you better than 90% of the applicants out there.

In Chapter 4, we dig into the “Jedi Mind Tricks for the Day of Your Interview” using the latest scientific, ninja secrets.

In Chapter 5, we cover that most strange and bizarre interview form, the phone screener,in “The Phone Interview Made (Stupidly) Easy”

In Chapter 6, “Acing the In-person interview (Like a Boss) – we show you how to put it all together into one kick-ass job interview. (That actually gets you a job offer.)

In Chapter 7, “Closing Out the Interview” – we show you how to leave a great lasting impression, and (subtly) ensure their next phone call will be the one to hire you.

So if you’re tired of all those crappy books with horrible, outdated job interview tips…then give “Job Interview Tips That Don’t Suck” a try!

You CAN Interview Better in 15 Minutes –
Let a Hiring Manager Teach You How
Stop Making Mistakes Candidates Make
Over and Over Again – Do You Want the Job?

A Message from the Author: Russell Tuckerton

I am a corporate executive with over 23 years of experience in the technology industry. I have directly or indirectly been responsible for hiring and managing over 100 employees throughout my career.

I am also a husband and a father of two wonderful children, and we call Denver home.

I have personally witnessed the same mistakes being made OVER and OVER again in interviews – regardless of whether it is an entry level position or a senior management position. I wish I could stop these interviews mid-stream and let the candidate know what they are doing wrong – however, HR will not allow me to do that.

So I have taken to the written word to share my collective experience over 2 decades to help YOU avoid these mistakes and get that job you’ve always wanted.

It is possible to escape this misguided conditioning by being “jobless” while still enjoying all the financial security and financial freedom that could be gotten from “getting a job” People go to work 40 hours a week because it provides them with some misguided form of security, and even perhaps with some prestige. To step out of this comforting world, they will need to learn how to get those things from their jobless lifestyle as well. A step by step guide is provided in the book to explain how.

Fun-Forever Job:
Career Strategies that Work

Available on:

KindlePaperbackSmashwords

 

Looking for work? Changing careers? Discover the smart way to search.

Ellis Chase, one of Manhattan’s top career management consultants and executive coaches, brings his 25-plus years of experience and expertise to this reexamination of how you can target and find a job that fits. You’ll find strategies you can use to: identify the career that’s right for you; build your networks; approach interviews; negotiate your salary; cope with the emotional roller coaster; make smarter decisions.

In Search of the Fun-Forever Job takes a fresh look at an old problem and turns some of the commonly held beliefs about job search and career management inside out.

  • Is the resume truly the key to a successful search?
  • Isn’t it easier to look for a job when you’re employed?
  • Won’t I improve my chances if I just put as many letters and resumes out there as possible, and hope some of them stick?
  • Isn’t networking just calling everyone I know and asking for leads?
