This book is ideal for parents to purchase for their kids so they can learn how workplaces operate; for employers to purchase as a training guide to communicate to their employees what they need to do to become valuable employees and grow within their company; for individuals who find themselves continually passed over for promotions or who continually move from job to job without significant increases in pay; for schools that want to teach work readiness; for ESOL programs as a book to teach reading while educating the students on the U.S. workplace; for Job Centers to have as a reference book that their clients can read; and for anybody who wants to truly understand why specific behaviors and skills are valuable to employers so they can manage a career rather than just get paid to perform a job.

Book review from Midwest Book Review, a company that recommends books for California, Wisconsin and upper Midwest libraries and whose reviews are included in Gale Research who provide book reviews to libraries throughout the United States.

Hi, my name is Steve.  I am an educator who prepares students for the workforce.  As such, I will be informing visitors to this site of valuable resources that help businesses improve the effectiveness of their employees, and help individuals improve their skills and knowledge to become better employees.

In today's global economy, with more and more jobs being outsourced overseas, the only thing that can save U.S. jobs is a superior workforce.  Below are links to sites that can help in that challenge, or help dimension the problem.  More will be added.
