Summary

A shot of encouragement, a kick in the ass, and a loving push for young people who have no idea what they want or how to get it
		 
Career Rookie is a book for every grad, student, and 20-something who feels lost, overwhelmed, and anxious. It tackles the emotional and logistical WTF-ness of starting your career, answering questions like, What if I don’t have any experience? What if I went to school for something I hated? What if I have NO IDEA what I actually want? Should I just suck it up and settle? Because, honestly, this career thing is starting to give me an ulcer.
		 
This fresh, fun guide gives even the most lost and overwhelmed a way forward. It explores passion, curiosity, uncertainty, self-sabotage, and more on the quest to shake off post-graduation paralysis. Finding the right career can seem impossible, but Sarah Vermunt is the fun-loving, straight-talking coach we all need to make feel-good work a reality.

    M.L. Humphrey draws upon twenty years of experience with regulatory compliance, and AML compliance in particular, as both a regulator of broker-dealers and a consultant to some of the largest financial institutions in the world, to give an overview of the main AML compliance requirements, with a particular focus on customer identification and suspicious activity monitoring and reporting.This book is meant to be a high-level overview of AML compliance requirements, which means it focuses on the general concepts behind the regulations as opposed to any specific industry- or country-level regulations or any specific suspicious activity fact patterns. But the book should give a strong foundation for understanding those industry- or country-level requirements.

    The guide to making human nature work with you and not against you by increasing job enjoyment and producing extraordinary results. On a hot day when the air conditioning goes off, employees can start complaining that it’s too hot to work. But after work in the parking lot, where it is twenty degrees hotter, they will look at each other say, “Well, what do you think, golf or tennis?” Why will people, in recreation, pay for the privilege of working harder than they will work when they are paid? In The Game of Work, Charles A. Coonradt explains what makes people so dedicated to recreational pursuits, and shows—with fresh, proven management techniques—how to use that same motivation to win at business. Using the principles outlined in this book, a major consumer beverage manufacturer reduced costs by 25 cents per case resulting in an annual $30 million savings, a large grocery distribution company reduced their losses from warehouse and truck damage by over $10 million, a communications firm increased profits from $1.7 million to $3.4 million in one year, a multi-store retail chain improved corporate valuation by over 500% prior to being acquired, a manufacturing firm reduced waste metal costs $30,000 a year, an advertising executive increased his sales volume 55 percent in 90 days, and a warehouse/distribution operation reduced accidents by 38% saving over $500,000 in one year. Everyone can achieve better results with these proven principles. Company presidents, managers, supervisors, sales personnel, and human resource directors will find ideas for achieving not only personal success but also success for the entire business team.

    A history of aviation in Texas that “brilliantly demonstrates the evolution of flight technology as a harbinger of social change” (Technology and Culture).   In this book, pilot and historian Barbara Ganson brings to life the colorful personalities that shaped the phenomenally successful development of the aviation industry in the Lone Star state. Weaving stories and profiles of aviators, designers, manufacturers, and those in related services, Texas Takes Wing covers the major trends that propelled Texas to the forefront of the field.   Covering institutions from San Antonio’s Randolph Air Force Base (the West Point of this branch of service) to Brownsville’s airport with its Pan American Airlines instrument flight school (which served as an international gateway to Latin America as early as the 1920s) to Houston’s Johnson Space Center, home of Mission Control for the US space program, the book provides an exhilarating timeline and engaging history of dozens of unsung pioneers as well as their more widely celebrated peers.   Drawn from personal interviews as well as major archives and the collections of several commercial airlines, including American, Southwest, Braniff, Pan American Airways, and Continental, this sweeping history captures the story of powered flight in Texas since 1910. With its generally favorable flying weather, flat terrain, and wide-open spaces, Texas has more airports than any other state and is often considered one of America’s most aviation-friendly places. Texas Takes Wing also explores the men and women who made the region pivotal in military training, aircraft manufacturing during wartime, general aviation, and air servicing of the agricultural industry. The result is a soaring history that will delight aviators and passengers alike.  Includes photos
