More as branding than as a quality statement ...

One of these days I'm going to swear off “resume books”, but they keep coming my way (thanks to my penning  The Job Stalker blog over on the Chicago Tribune's “Chicago Now” site), and I keep reading them. As regular followers of this space will appreciate, after spending the first 25 years of my professional career between two gigs that I…See More

Anachronistic advice?

This was another Dollar Store find, and it's probably a good thing, or I would have been having “buyers' remorse” otherwise. Although the book did redeem itself to a certain extent by the time it was over, it was a long strange trip (and not in a good way) through a lot of very anachronistic advice! As regular readers of…See More

the sky tumbling down

As I have no doubt mentioned previously, until my recent job search, I had never been given to reading “business books”. Over the past several years, however, I have read quite a number (due in large part to my writing The Job Stalker blog over on Chicago Now), so one would think that I would be past “old biases”…See More

We all need control.

Another Dover Thrift Edition, another “hole” in my education plugged. Here's something you may not know … the term “robot” is derived from a word in a Czech dialect meaning “forced labor” or “drudgery”, and was coined by a Czech writer. Now, I had some idea about the broad strokes of this, but hadn't encountered the writer, nor…See More

"Put the glasses on! Put 'em on!"

I don't know why these books never crossed my radar back when they were coming out … they sold tons of copies, and I guess got lots of ink, but I was oblivious to them until much later. In fact, I tried to get an interview with Lois Weisberg, the Chicago Commissioner of Cultural Affairs, some years back (related to a job opening I'd…See More

Some splainin' about human origins ...

This was another of those delightful dollar store finds … always a treat to discover a nice hardcover, in perfect condition, for a buck! The randomness of the dollar store books is one of the most attractive (well, aside from the $1 price, of course) parts of the find, as these will, obviously, not be things that I went out looking for,…See More
