Worth a Read – September (Part 3)

A Wealth of Resources

Ahem. Yes, this is supposed to be the September-October issue of (new name) Worth a Read. But it’s still October! At any rate, the content that is worth your attention for entertainment, education, and current trends is here. A feeble attempt will be made this time around to create content in categories (no promises because I might stray). Rather than overwhelm you with a new form of a Mitchner novel, this will be a three-volume issue. Find Part 1 and Part 2 in these locations.

Something to Recommend?

You can be part of the creation of this list. All that’s needed is you post your suggestion to In a Word – CCJP for literature or post business-related recommendations to Entrances – Recruit and Retain with the title of the article, author, a brief summary of why it’s noteworthy, a link to the item, and the hashtag “WorthaRead”.

Literature

• Jessica Miller-Merrell is the CIO at Workology, an HR network. She recently offered a copy of Barney Feinberg’s book, The Chemistry Factor: Create Powerful Business Relationships for Greater Success, to a limited number of HR pros, writers, and bloggers. I just read the summary of the book and Feinberg’s background. For those who are in the OD space (or simply in business development in some way), this is definitely something you need to read and have on your bookshelf. Perhaps you can compare Feinberg’s recommendations to your current practices to determine where you want (or need) to make adjustments.
• Something tells me Laura Morelli is just the slightest bit elated about the acclaim her 4.5-star historical novel, The Painter’s Apprentice: A Novel of 16th-Century Venice, earned from Writer’s Digest.
• Geoff Boxell gives the latest novel in the Master of War series, Scourge of Wolves (Master of War Book 5), by David Gilman, 4 stars and says:
  

  . . . I re-enact a 14thC English archer, though one of a different temperament to Sir Thomas Blackstone. Because of this I have read all of the previous books in the Master of War series and even corresponded with the author, David Gilman.

  Talk to those who have been to war and they will tell you that it is 90% boredom, 9% excitement and 1% sheer terror, or something like that. Thus book reverses the ratio and it is 90% excitement and sheer terror, mostly for those who oppose Sir Thomas.

• Sandra Gulland rates The Lost History of Dreams
  by Kris Waldherr a 5 star historical read. See the summary on GoodReads.

• Fahad Aslam Khokhar and Audrey Eisner-Hoeller have more than praise for for Malcolm Gladwell’s Tipping Point. In fact, one of them refers to him as a thought leader while the other recommends you put his book on your library shelf (after you’ve read it). Says Fahad:
  

  For all those who feel that success is a stroke of luck for many, this book is worth a read. There are always some convincing reasons to explain why some business spread like a social epidemic called the Tipping Point.

Literature

• In August, Carolyn Hughes was staying in and doing a book tour chat with Linda Hill about A Woman’s Lot. If you’d like to know more about what to expect from a book tour, it’s well worth a visit to Linda’s visit with Carolyn.

  Says Linda in her review of the book:

  But what I truly hadn’t expected was that Linda would have time to read the book and leave a review! She’s a very busy lady and we only set up this “chat” a little while ago. But she did read A Woman’s Lot and she loved it! Stop by the blog and get in on the conversation. It’s worth a read.

  DO read her review at the end of the chat – it really is terrific, and I couldn’t be more delighted.

• Those interested in even more about Egypt may want to explore co-author and editor Renée Friedman’s collection, Egypt and Nubia: Gifts of the Desert.
• Beth Wilson shares a very moving review of Necessary Lies by Diane Chamberlain. She calls it one of the best books she’s read all year. With the mounting social tensions in the U.S., this real story of the dilemmas faced by a 1950s North Carolina social worker is bound to make you gnash your teeth.
• So Middle Ages history is your cup of tea. Well, Alex Marchant has this recommendation about a Richard III novel that’s also great for a family style worth a read:
  “In the week in which the sad events of the Battle of Bosworth are remembered, I’m pleased to say the second book in my series telling the last years in the life of King Richard III has been reviewed in the Richard III Society Bulletin.” The same reviewer who called ‘The Order of the White Boar’ ‘a wonderful work of historical fiction for both children and adults’, says that ‘The King’s Man’ is:

  “full of action, adventure and determination to succeed … well researched, with lots of historical fact … beautifully suited to ‘children’ between 8 and 108 … The narrative unfolds swiftly and Marchant keeps the pace moving along, just as events at that time developed quickly … I look forward to the third book in the series…”
  Both books are available in ebook and paperback.

• On my mind for quite some time are the McCarthy era, blacklisting, reputation management, and credibility. A recent Sunday news talk show featured Marvin Kalb during which he discussed his new book, Enemy of the People: Trump’s War on the Press, the New McCarthyism, and the Threat to American Democracy and I was inspired by his examination of the comparisons. Now a 5So Middle Ages history is your cup of tea. Well, Alex Marchant has this recommendation about a Richard III novel that’s also great for a family style worth a read:

  When the initial objection to Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court was raised, along with the timing of the incident, I wondered why the “[Terrence] Hallinan defense” (youthful indiscretion compared with indiscretion) wasn’t raised [See, TERENCE HALLINAN, Petitioner, v. COMMITTEE OF BAR EXAMINERS, THE STATE BAR OF CALIFORNIA, Respondent, S. F. No. 22295, Supreme Court of California, 65 Cal. 2d 447; 421 P.2d 76; 55 Cal. Rptr. 228; 1966 Cal. LEXIS 214 (December 15, 1966)]. However in Hallinan’s situation, he was brought to trial because of a fist fight in his youth. He won his case and was exonerated.

Literature

• In August, Michael Smith had a special free download for any of his mystery thrillers. Available in a large number of formats, your in for a treat if you’re a fan of this genre. All Michael asks is, “If you download one of them for free during the free book promotion and enjoy reading it, then I’d like to ask you for a favor. Would you be kind enough to leave a review for the book on Amazon? It’d be greatly appreciated!”
  Find three of Michael Ace Smith titles, out of the seven, on Goodreads. Or go to Amazon for the full array.

• What an opening Mary Deal has in her new ebook release, River Bones. If you’re into mysteries and suspense, it looks like this is a must have. It made Amazon’s Top 100.
• There are those times when we have questions, hard questions. That’s when it’s time to have a conversation with an authority. A neighbor recommends a great starting point. I’m not certain of which of the three is on her shelf, but she highly recommends Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsch.

  In case you want to dive into the full conversation author Walsch has compiled, there is also the The Complete Conversations with God: An Uncommon Dialogue (Conversations with God #1-3)
  Or you can just start with one and savor the epiphanies derived from each new reading. Either way, it’s “Worth a Read.”

• So you’d expect that kings, ancient kings, kings and dignitaries of Egypt, would be given the utmost in treatment and respect, especially for their remains. However, Nupur Tustin tells us that isn’t necessarily the case when it comes to U.S. history.

Explore the concepts and recommendations she makes in her any one, or all, of her books – The Perfect Network-Out, Balancing, Creating & Living Wealth + Wellness and Manifesting a New Life: Money, Love, Health and Everything in Between for starters.

Articles

• Although tantamount to an op/ed piece, Former Trump official: No one ‘minding the store’ at White House on cyberthreats (Michael Isikoff, Chief Investigative Correspondent, Yahoo News (July 25, 2018)), still says a lot about the quality of leadership and governance on behalf of our nation. Who can provide an unbiased, factual account of what’s happening in the White House?
• AARP reports on the July employment data. Given that the workforce is now comprised of *four* age demographics, we need to ask ourselves why there is such a large discrepancy between the under 50 demographic and the 55+ demographic.

  One other thing the blog points out is that wages have remained flat over a long period of time, thereby necessitating multiple sources of gig economy work that either substitutes for normal regular employment or (more likely) supplements normal regular employment. All of that to merely earn a livable wage.

See, Korean Cryptocurrency Firms Unwilling to Pay Talent High Salaries, Shaurya Malwa, BTC Manager (July 10, 2018)

Videos and Movies

• There’s a debate about the statement Kapernick is making. The statement is called free speech. To punish him for his speech and essentially tell him he has no right to peacefully object is to plunge him into a modern version of slavery. The ills of this country do not begin and stop with the impact on the Negro ethnicity. It also historically impacts those who are of Chinese, Japanese, and Native American descent. And these days, it’s beginning to include those who are part of the Muslim community.
  What does our flag represent? What is patriotism?

• It’s important when seeking a barometer for leadership role models and good ethical practices. Consider the Cuomo video that challenges the information we have about White House leadership and ethics. I believe the expert’s assessment that Cohen is looking for a “get out of jail free” card is very accurate. However, what I also am seeing is a replay of All the President’s Men.
• When it comes to sexual harassment, it appears status also brings privilege along with the ability to intimidate. All we need do is look to our national leader (our poster child) for an example. But here we have the leader of one of the leading news stations facing the disclosure.
• A new series is coming to us via Netflix called Rise of the Phoenixes (find video). Rather unique as far as Western entertainment is concerned, this series, as Erica McDonald tells us, is set in ancient China. Time for discovery and enlightenment.

  Perhaps this is the story in book form The legend of Fuyao by Tian Xia Gui Yuan. Not only worth viewing for those who want to know and understand Chinese history and culture, also “Worth a Read.”

8 Sites for Researching Employers

ITWorld tells us about 8 websites for researching your next employer. At the top of their list is Glass Doors. That site and I have some history that doesn’t need to be made public. However, I will take into consideration what others have to say about it and their impressions of it.

The most attention-grabbing comment on Facebook about Glass Doors was a recent one voice by Jason Buss, a recruiter in the Minneapolis area and diversity specialist, who complained that their algorithms are off by a significant amount for job search purposes.

Glass Doors sent him some job leads: “The results include a truck driver for TMC, a sales associate for PETCO, and a PeopleSoft systems administrator.” I gently teased him about the results by saying, “Well, I told them those were just the types of things for which you’re best suited, Jason. You mean we didn’t hit the nail on the head? You said you like to travel for work. You love animals. You’re good at talking to people and public speaking. And talk about analytical! You’re constantly poring over reports.”

Jason backed up his protest about using the site for job search by commenting on the positive. He said, “It may have info on researching employers but the algorithm for matching jobs really sucks.”

[Recruiter Tip embedded in this post.] It’s good for recruiters to kick the tires at some of these job boards and job sites. You need to know what they’re doing, what they’re dispensing in the way of industry intelligence, and how well they’re doing at pointing applicants in the right direction.

That being said, it appears Glass Doors is a good competitor with Vault as far as shedding light on business environment and such. And in that regard, it seems the other six sites named are also excellent for researching your next employer.

Most Popular Jobs

Payscale published a new article on popular jobs and promote it in their current newsletter. The article’s title is “10 Most Popular Jobs and What They Pay.” There are some interesting things to note about these ten job titles. Let’s take a look at them and then I’ll leave you to explore the content of the article.

The first thing that stands out is the order of the jobs. They’re ranked by degree of satisfaction for those who are in the occupations. The first six are all in the “helping” field. Let’s call them humanitarian occupations. One has a bit of overlap into environmental issues. They are

• Operating Room Nurse
• Physical Therapist
• Environmental Engineer
• Athletic Trainer
• Dietitian
• Elementary School Teacher

The first three jobs rank in the 80th percentiles as far as level of satisfaction. My observation in regard to satisfaction is that the jobs offer a lot in the way of feeling as though your work has a lot of relevance. The other thing is all of those jobs merit pay of $61,000 or more per year.

The next three jobs drop to the 78% to 79% in terms of job satisfaction. Likewise, the level of pay also drops, hovering between $49,000 to $39,000. In other words, these people are pulling salaries of between $3,205 to $4,083 per month. It doesn’t appear that the money is what’s making them unhappy but something about the actual work. This, in light of the amount of dollars paid, means there’s some serious research and soul searching that needs to go into considering the work. It would be wise to do some informational interviewing, not for the sake of getting leads as much as learning the inside scoop about daily demands, ability to reach personal goals and desires, amount of bureaucracy involved in delivering on the services, additional training involved in actually reaching a desired plateau, amount of effort required to find a place to work.

The next four jobs are more in the way of technical occupations. They deal more with numbers and data than with people and concepts. They remuneration they draw is essentially all over the map. While the one at the lowest end of the spectrum commands $58,000, the one at the top draws $70,000. However, the satisfaction ratings range from 71% to 76% for

• Intelligence Analyst
• Computer Networking/IT Systems Engineer
• Dental Hygienist
• Technical Writer

These are definitely not callings for people with a heavy creative factor. Still, there is room in all of these occupations for people with diverse interests and talents, depending on how the callings are cast and the setting. You just need to open your mind to the related industries, and how your particular talents can be used to help you blossom in that particular setting.

Additionally, these are generalized job titles. There are related and even lateral situations that call upon similar if not the same skills but are either stepping stones to the ultimate goal (and learning plateaus) or are related careers in and of themselves. You have to research the options and what’s available as you either embark on your search or else fine tune it.

The interesting thing about these statistics is that PayScale doesn’t tell us how or where they derived these numbers. It isn’t clear whether these are data representative of the East Coast, Midwest, or where. Ohio wages are definitely going to be different from New York and California. Likewise, Detroit and Macon will also have a particular slant. The other unfortunate thing about PayScale is they don’t respond to questions either by phone or by email. So we’re left to take in the information and just puzzle things through for ourselves.

Where should you look to learn about related careers and jobs? Try the Occupational Outlook Handbook or the Career Guide to Industries that are published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
