Get The Career You Deserve!: How to build your network, leverage your connections, and sell your talents for a great new career change. (Career Change Series Book 2)
Now fully updated in 2018!
If you're looking for a big change - something that will really fulfill you and not just distract you - what's the easiest way to get it? Is it filling out job applications on-line, and waiting with a thousand other anonymous applicants for a complete stranger to pick you out of a lottery?
Not a chance.
In Get The Career You Deserve!, you'll learn how to sidestep the traditional hiring process and get the job you want faster than you thought possible. You'll learn to: build your network quickly and without much effort; line up casual interviews with complete strangers; and nail the interview so that they'll be begging you to join them.
Start a new career - and start loving your job!
Interview with the author
Q - Aren't there lots of books about career change? Why do we need another one?
A - There are loads of career change books out there - I don't pretend this is the first! One of the problems with almost all career change books, though, is that they treat change as a one-off. "I hate my job, so if I make this one change, then everything will be great!"
But what happens if you don't like the second career either? If you go through a massive once-in-a-lifetime exercise, you can feel more demoralized than ever if it doesn't work out.
Q - So what makes the Career Change series different?
A - This series isn't just about leaving the career you hate - it's about embracing an entirely new path for your future. In this series, you'll discover how to constantly repackage what experience you already have into a new career that you've never tried before. Then, when you grow tired of that, morph and adapt again - and again!
The Career Change series is about learning how to change as a normal course of habit. Once you learn how to navigate a new career, it becomes easier and easier to keep on changing. Because for high performers or anyone else who just wants to be happy in their careers: boredom is not an option.
Q - What makes you an expert in career change?
A - A lot of experts on career change are Human Resources (HR) pros who have studied what other people do. Not me.
I've worked over 60 jobs in my 39 years, reaching across a dozen industries, private and public sectors - and six countries. I went from fine arts to finance; hospitality to project management; client services to business process analysis. If there's a career out there, I've probably worked some role in it.
And that's what makes me uniquely qualified to talk about career change: I don't skim across theories that other people develop. I've lived it, I've done it.
Q - I want to love my job - how do I leave the job that I hate?
A - If you hate your job, you're in the clear majority! But the biggest mistake we can make is setting small targets for change. In this series you'll learn how to set BIG goals that seem ridiculously far away - but can be achieved way faster than you think. In no time at all, you'll be in a job that you love!
Q - In what order should I read the books?
A - Since the books build on a progressive set of ideas, you might be flying a bit blind if you jump out of sequence. To get the most of the Career Change series, you should probably read them in the following order:
1. Build A New Career! How to redefine your skills for a full-blown career change and get a new job you really want - no matter where you've been.
2. Get The Career You Deserve! How to build your network, leverage your connections, and sell your talents for a great new career change.

Moral Reasoning at Work: Rethinking Ethics in Organizations
This book is open access under a CC-BY license. Moral dilemmas are a pervasive feature of working life. Moral Reasoning at Work offers a fresh perspective on how to live with them. How do we cope with situations where no matter what we decide to do, something will be wrong? How do we live with the moral dissonance between what we are tempted to do and what is in line with our moral convictions? What can organizations do to establish a foundation for responsible decision-making and conduct? This book combines research streams from ethics and moral psychology using extensive experience of sessions of moral reasoning with leaders and employees in organizations. It argues that there is a need to go beyond compliance and traditional approaches to ethics in order to prepare decision-makers for moral dilemmas. Organizations can do that by encouraging people to become actively and regularly involved in moral reasoning at work.

Ethical Codes and Income Distribution: A Study of John Bates Clark and Thorstein Veblen (Routledge Studies in the History of Economics)
In contemporary non-mainstream economic debate, it is widely thought that the functioning of a market economy needs a set of rules (i.e. institutions) which bind agents in their behaviour, allowing efficient outcomes. This idea is contrary to the General Equilibrium Model (GEM) where markets are pictured as working in an institutional vacuum and where social and historical variables play no role. However, in more recent times, a large group of economists have begun to insert social and moral variables into standard models based on the rational choice paradigm, following the increasing interest - on the part of firms - in the possible positive effects of adopting ethical codes. In this key new text Guglielmo Davanzati studies this burgeoning view that ethics and economics can be compatible. Does 'morality' affect income distribution? And, if so, what are the effects of the widespread adoption of ethical codes on the functioning of the labour market? Central to Davanzati's efforts is the thesis that the roots of these new developments can be traced back to the pioneering work of Thorstein Veblen and John Bates Clark. Utilizing their contrasting works, Davanzati's text illuminates the propagation of ethical codes within the two opposing frameworks i.e. the neoclassical and the institutional. Davanzati's important book will be an invaluable reference for readers interested in history of economic thought, economics and moral philosophy.

Ethical: What You Must Know to Build Trust and Maintain Genuine Relationships
The Christian desire to honor God and be faithful to him is the most important reason for learning and practicing what is ethical. We should understand that nothing could be wiser, more appropriate, and more secure than God's way of thinking. For this reason, living an ethical lifestyle will not be done out of an attitude of sacrifice, but out of a feeling of appreciation and desire for God's will. Ethical addresses topics such as: Knowing When to Obey or Counter Authority Ethical Care of Things Owned by Others Ethical Handling of Finances Making and Adhering to Ethical Promises Proper Behavior With the Opposite Sex About the Author Dr. Morris graduated from Pacific Coast Baptist Bible College and Anchor Theological Seminary.

The Art of Getting to YES: How Using Questions Correctly Inspires Action, Agreement, and Connection with Anyone
Do you consciously frame questions so the easiest answer is "Yes"? "We need to talk, can you meet me at noon?"Fear strikes the heart of most folks when they hear, "We need to talk..." from their boss or spouse. Heart rates soar, blood pressure rises, and concentration on anything else is pretty much toast. Unless the specific intent was to cause panic, one bit of questionable communication can ruin your day.
Effective communication is hard. Concise effective communication is an art. For those who don't have the gift, questions can even the playing field. That's how questions became the foundation of the author's career and inspired this short-read book.
People who ask brilliant questions are often more successful than people who give brilliant answers. It's like the old story about the difference between giving someone a fish or teaching them how to fish. One answer won't make your career, but skillfully asking the right questions might.
??? Personal and professional relationships are fed by trust. Properly using questions inspires trust.Most people look for a yes - action, obedience, or agreement - from customers, colleagues, families, and even horses. This short book addresses the reasons why you don't get the response you want and the unintended consequences of asking the wrong question.
Easy-to-understand and packed with illustrations, "The Art of YES" shares the 4 Types of Questions and teaches you to wield them effectively and responsibly. Has a question ever made you feel uncomfortable? If that wasn't the intent, what went wrong?
Written by Lynn Baber, best-selling author, World and National Champion horse trainer and breeder, and promoter of the concept of Message over Market. A serial entrepreneur, Lynn credits her success in large part to the savvy use of questions.
