Grasping the fundamentals of interviewing skills is crucial for anyone experiencing the formal interview process. Not knowing what to expect, not knowing the basics of what you should and should not do, and not knowing what will make you a more attractive job candidate can all be the "kiss of death" as far your chances of obtaining that position. Therefore, do not enter an interview unprepared with little knowledge. Be one of the few applicants who educate yourself, insuring that you will acquire the Interviewing Edge.

The Final Days is the number-one New York Times best-selling, classic, behind-the-scenes account of Richard Nixon's dramatic last months as president. Moment by moment, Bernstein and Woodward portray the taut, post-Watergate White House as Nixon, his family, his staff, and many members of Congress strained desperately to prevent his inevitable resignation. This brilliant book reveals the ordeal of Nixon's fall from office - one of the gravest crises in presidential history.

Story5 out of 5 stars 143
It wasn’t long ago that liberal icons, including the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, were against the idea of overhauling the court for political gain. But now, in the Biden era, more and more powerful Democrats are getting behind the cause, claiming the high court is broken and actively dismantling our democracy. Even Joe Biden—who once called court-packing a “bonehead idea”—gave in to the progressive wing of his party, appointing a committee to examine “reforms” to the court after being sworn in as president.

Whether you like it or loathe it, public speaking is something many of us have to do. Be it presentations to colleagues or speeches to a room full of near-strangers, we all want to shine…or at least get through it with our dignity intact. Luckily Philip Collins, former Chief Speech Writer to Tony Blair, knows exactly what’s needed to give a storming speech. The secret, according to Philip, is content. Too many of us focus on how we’re presenting, and don’t spend enough time thinking about what we’re presenting. The secret to memorable, polished speeches is to think more about the material you’re sharing.

Publisher's summary
This information-packed audiobook relays solid expertise you will need to become an effective meeting administrator. As with any topic, the basics do not just come to you; you must make a conscious effort to learn what you need to know to become more skillful. Knowing these basics of planning and managing meetings will "head off" problems before they occur.
For example, students are asked to chair meetings using Robert's Rules of Order, but they have had little or no exposure to them. One section focuses on these rules and will provide the background to consider motions and accomplish your organization's business.
If you are presently involved in meeting planning or responsible for chairing meetings or see that in your future, this audiobook is for you!

Drawing on interviews with executives from Fortune 500 companies, Kathleen Kelley Reardon has compiled essential advice on how to break into the inner circle of power at the top of the corporate ladder. Many books cover practical business knowledge, but few address the issue of interpersonal skills. The ever-changing circle of power within a corporation may not necessarily follow the same guidelines it publicly professes. The most talented employee isn't always the one promoted; there is an intangible quality the upper echelon look for.

Each year tens of thousands of students will, after years of hard work and enormous amounts of money, earn their PhDs.

Karen Kelsky has made it her mission to help job seekers join the select few who get the most out of their PhDs.

Every president has had a unique and complicated relationship with the intelligence community. While some have been coolly distant, even adversarial, others have found their intelligence agencies to be among the most valuable instruments of policy and power. Since John F. Kennedy's presidency, this relationship has been distilled into a personalized daily report: a short summary of what the intelligence apparatus considers the most crucial information for the president to know that day about global threats and opportunities.

This is Frost's absorbing story of his pursuit of Richard Nixon and is no less revealing of his own toughness and pertinacity than of the ex-president's elusiveness. Frost's encounters with such figures as Swifty Lazar, Ron Ziegler, potential sponsors, and Nixon as negotiator are nothing short of hilarious, and his insight into the taping of the programs themselves is fascinating.
