Excellent!.......2007-02-07

I bought this book because I read a recent HotJobs article by the author that was practical and to-the-point. This book gave me more of the same - relevant information and realistic guidance written in a style that was easy to follow.

This book has a workbook format that takes you through 5 stages from trying to get your job search under control to starting a new job. Each chapter had several exercises that showed you how to apply the author' suggestions to your life. I don't always read chapters in order and still found the book's format flexible enough to let me focus on the areas I wanted to improve at a given time. I particularly liked that there were lots of examples of real job-hunters' experiences throughout the book - it was reassuring somehow.

What I found most appealing about this book was information that I haven't found in my other job search books so far and an organized system for applying it to my life. I usually focus on getting my resumes out and lining up interviews. This book told me to how take a different approach and build a foundation with some basics that I had been neglecting, like boosting my self-confidence, organizing my job search days so that I was more efficient and productive, having a clear plan for achieving what I wanted from my job search, and pacing myself so that I wouldn't burn out before I got the job I wanted. I always wondered why I stressed so much over my job search and this book gave me clear explanations about what makes job hunting stressful and WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. I was surprised to see ways I could use relaxation to improve my energy levels and confidence - who ever thinks about relaxing during a job search? Nothing fancy, just simple techniques that I could use anywhere. I tried some of the tips for what to do in an interview and they were easy enough to follow. The author takes the pressure out of trying the suggestions in the book with her philosophy that no matter what happens, you just keep picking yourself up and trying again from where you left.

My gripe about this book is that I needed more space for writing in all of the answers to the exercises - it's not an 8.5 x 11 workbook but paperback size.

My clients found it motivating and practical.......2004-01-12

I used Kick Start Your Job Search as a resource book in one of my job search seminars and got lots of positive feedback from my clients. The common theme was "This person really understands what I'm going through." They liked that it was a realistic picture of what a job search is really like. And they found that the suggestions in the book really worked for them. The sections on talking back to critics and putting yourself first were real ego boosters and the sections on time management and peak performance got a lot of them out of the "unemployment funk" they'd fallen into. Only suggestion for change was to have more room in the book for writing in answers for the self-exploration and planning exercises -- they loved having so many exercises they could work on.

Highly recommend this book.......2003-12-11

Dr. Andrade has done it again. I lost my job in management and my self esteem and self confidence was at an all time low. After a year of not being able to find a job, I picked up this book as a last resort. It is a decision that I will never regret. After reading (and practically memorizing this book) I was able to go out on job interviews filled with confidence and amazing tips that Dr. Andrade mentioned. I am now working in an upper management position again. Thank you so much Dr. Andrade.

Amazingly close to the current impeaschment situation!!.......1999-01-25

This is a blow by blow story of impeachment and also a story of a woman that took her husbands place as Govenor after he was impeached.

In this book Texas's first woman Govenor Ma Fergison at last gets her due.

Ma Fergison was a house hold word in Texas during the twenties's and thirties's

There is no other book that tells the secrets about this much disputed and much malighed administration. The Legislation tried to impeach Ma, but she would not let then call the session.

This book captivated me and kept my attention it is so amazing that the impeachment of the Govenor had so many paralls to the impeachment of President Clinton.

Ma put her desk in the capitol next to the desk of her husband...Texas was refered to as having two Govenors for the price of one.

Ma okyed a horse racing track in Arlington Texas because her Husband Jim liked to play the ponies.

Hardbound. This innovative study of Japanese business discourse adopts Bakhtin's notion of speech genres as an heuristic in order to analyze groups of spoken texts which display similar constellations of compositional, thematic, and stylistic features. Drawing upon a corpus of over 540 naturally-occurring telephone conversations collected in the Kanto and Kansai areas of Japan, Lindsay Amthor Yotsukura demonstrates how Japanese business professionals present, negotiate and clarify their identities and intentions and enlist and offer assistance with respect to a variety of transactions such as toiawase inquiries, merchandise orders, shipping confirmations, and reports of delivery problems. In the process, she highlights the critical deictic function of linguistic devices such as the no desu (extended predicate) construction in producing formulations, and politeness expressions that index the dynamic uti/soto ('inside'/ 'outside') continuum.

Book Description

During the past decade the issue of a general welfare double dividend (an improvement in environmental quality combined with a positive welfare effect) triggered by a tax shift from labor to energy resources has been extensively debated. In this book, Kurt Kratena studies the employment effects of revenue neutral tax shifts from labor to energy, and measures the impact on theoretical and empirical models of the European labor market.

A common theoretical framework is devised to analyze the impact of environmental tax reform. Various `labor market regimes' (competitive labor markets, union wage bargaining and efficiency wages) are derived and taken as the starting point for different specifications of the labor market. The theoretical outcomes of tax shifts in these different labor market regimes are then analyzed and compared. The results reveal that whereas an econometric-based multi-sectoral model yields significant double dividend effects, a general equilibrium model only finds employment double dividend effects. The book also highlights the potentially positive economic consequences of environmental tax reform such as a shift in demand from energy to non-energy goods.

Book Description

Environmental Taxation and the Double Dividend explores the welfare effects of environmental taxes in a second-best framework. It starts from a benchmark model which reveals that environmental taxes typically exacerbate pre-existing tax distortions, even if the revenues are used to cut other distortionary taxes. Subsequent chapters extend the benchmark model by introducing capital, terms of trade effects, transfers, involuntary unemployment, or environmental feedbacks. Thus, the book reveals several channels through which a double-dividend can be obtained. However, it also shows the trade-offs they induce. Simulations with the models illustrate the importance of these trade-offs for European economies.

Book Description

The twin benefits of improving environmental quality and reducing tax distortions through the recycling of environmental tax proceeds prove an attractive policy objective. This book analyzes the use of the double dividend concepts for evaluating ecological tax reforms. The author aims to analyze unilateral environmental policy measures thoroughly and to assess under which conditions a double dividend can be achieved. The analysis is undertaken in the context of international capital mobility and cross-border externalities. He also includes a discussion of an empirically relevant example for an ecological tax reform scenario in Germany - the DIW proposal. International Environmental Externalities and the Double Dividend will be of great interest to all researchers and those working in NGOs in the areas of environmental economics, ecological tax reform issues as well as trade and the environment.

Description:
Recent studies on the so-called double dividend hypothesis find that environmental tax swaps exacerbate the costs of the tax system and therefore do not produce a double dividend. We extend these models by incorporating a fixed-factor in the production of the polluting good and, therefore, allowing Ricardian rents to be generated in the economy. In this setting, an environmental tax reform with revenues used to cut pre-existing labor taxes can produce a double dividend. Moreover, the overall costs of environmental tax swaps are negative up to 11 percent of emissions reductions, suggesting the potential for a strong double dividend and confirming that environmental taxes should be part of the optimal tax system.
