How to Manage an Effective Nonprofit Organization: From Writing and Managing Grants to Fundraising, Board ... 6 reviews
Michael A. Sand
Career Press, 2005
Very good read
I purchased the book on a whim and in a hurry, basically based on other reviews and what was inside the book. I recently just started a Christian non profit organization and needed direction. This book provided me valuable information on what I need to know once I'm basically up and running - which is ok because I have plenty of pages highlighted and saved with posted notes! I enjoyed it.

Winning Job Interviews: Reduce Interview Anxiety / Outprepare the Other Candidates / Land the Job You Love 10 reviews
Paul Powers
Career Press, 2004
Eliminate "the fever," ace the interview & get the job
I've been on both sides of the job interview process: as someone doing the hiring and also as a candidate for a job. It is amazing how being on the job hunt alters your view of the interview process. Did I develop some kind of "interview fever" which made me overly nervous and forget what it was like to hire someone? Maybe. But reading Winning Job Interviews allowed me to step back and put it all ...

Impact: How to get noticed, Motivate Millions, and make a difference in a noisy world
Stephen Covey meets Walt Disney. That's how I'd describe the world imagined and being worked towards in this super new book by Ken McArthur. I hadn't heard of Ken until about a week ago, and I bought the book based on what I've read about him on the web. I am not just satisfied, I'm deeply impressed. This book is as practical as 'The 7 Habits' and as forward looking as 'It's a small world'. I've ...

100 Ways To Motivate Yourself: Change Your Life Forever51 reviews
Steve Chandler
Career Press, 2004
Practical wisdom
I bought the abridged CD audio book to give myself something constructive and positive to listen to while driving - I can only listen to so much talk radio before it begins to affect my attitude. And, as anyone who works in an interpersonal-sensitive career will agree, attitude is everything when it comes to a successful career.
Anyway, I'm glad that I purchased this 2-CD set. And while the 100 ...

Homework Helpers: Chemistry11 reviews
Greg Curran
Career Press, 2004
Perfect Book for a H.S. Chemistry Student
This book was written with the student in mind. It just makes sense. The book is full of examples and explanations. This probably saved my Chemistry grade and helped me understand everything for the final. The book is seriously amazing. If you need help in Chemistry, you HAVE TO get this book. I swear, you won't regret it.
The book makes it seem like you have a tutor teaching it to you.

Competency-Based Interviews: Master the Tough New Interview Style And Give Them the Answers That Will Win You ...11 reviews
Robin Kessler
Career Press, 2006
A must for anyone trying to figure out what they're doing wrong at interviews
As a Columbia MBA student, I found Kessler's book really helpful. I've found interviewing at business school very difficult because I'm surrounded by amazingly well-qualified competition! Interviews are one of my weakest points and I've read a bunch of interview guides in the hopes of finding out what I'm doing wrong. Until this book, I found these guides kind of useless and a waste of money ...

This Is An Indispensable Business Writing Guide!
The use of Internet technology has made the effective communication of thoughts and ideas in a variety of formats and styles possible. Good Website design alone, however, does not assure that one's intended business message will get across as well as planned and hoped for. Good writing and presentation skills are also important factors to consider in the overall communication process. ...

Better Spelling in 30 Minutes a Day (Better English Series)2 reviews
Robert W. Emery, Harry H. Crosby
Career Press, 1995
FABULOUS!!
Both my father and I used this book to work on our spelling. I was born in the US, and English is my first and only language. Ironically, I am actually an English major. While I could interpret the innerworkings of Shakespeare, I couldn't spell basic English words. I started using this book and my spelling improved incredibly! My father, an immigrant from India, didn't begin to learn English ...

They Don't Teach Corporate in College: A Twenty-Something's Guide to the Business World31 reviews
Alexandra Levit

Great book for looking at from the other angle.....
Managers searching to work with GenY employees would greatly benefit from reading this book. Why? Because it helps them bridge the gap and understand how Gen Y thinks. GenY wants two things: They want to be productive, and they want to succeed. Some traditionalist and baby boomers have a hard time understanding why Gen Y needs tools like a Blackberry to be productive. GenY wants these tools ...

Excellent book!
If you could only buy one book about owning your own VA business, I would highly recommend this one! As there are multiple books on the subject in the marketplace right now, I would still highly recommend this one. This is the ONLY book you will ever need - well, maybe one on accounting principles if you don't know any & have no money to hire an accountant! But this book tells you EVERYTHING ...

Gregory Hartley, Maryann Karinch
Career Press, 2008
A Fascinating Look at Human Behavior
What I found most interesting about this book is the insight it provides into human motivations and behaviors. This can be conscious manipulation -- as in why people buy things for which they have no use or even particular desire -- or less conscious influences -- why we enter into relationships and/or marry people who are totally wrong for us.
And of course, the ongoing question as to why ...

So completely practical.
This guy is awesome. So practical, so direct. No condescension, no preaching. Zero chaff. 100% content.
One (actual) example. I just pour out some hurt to my GF about my job. One client who is such a problem that if one our guys so much as *annoys* her, she could get a contract canceled that would get 4 of our guys laid off. An impossible to please person with a lot of power.
So I tell my ...
