The employer-employee relationship is broken, and managers face a seemingly impossible dilemma: the old model of guaranteed long-term employment no longer works in a business environment defined by continuous change, but neither does a system in which every employee acts like a free agent. The solution? Stop thinking of employees as either family or free agents. Think of them instead as allies.

While we cannot predict every question that Amazon will ask in an interview, the process is fairly structured. This makes the interview process transparent and easy to prepare for because we know many of the themes they will cover and questions they will ask. Imagine if your teacher in university told you most of the questions that were going to be on the test beforehand - all you would have to do is practice. Consider this book your study guide.

Appreciate the perspective
As an employer who is looking to continue to diversify my workforce and recruit diverse perspectives, I appreciate the point of view of this book from the perspective of the job seeker and their support team. Great ideas that will help me better prepare to support candidates as well. The audiobook format is clear and simple to consume.

Dwelling in Possibility
I plead guilty. I dwell in possibility for those with a disability. Am I naïve, sheltered from reality? Maybe. Or, do parents and mentors heed my call to be proactive in preparing youngsters for a new work world where disability as a negative is no longer relevant -- and that, in fact, disability is becoming a positive? My takeaway is that college students with a disability need to use their savvy to show employers they have a competitive edge as prospective employees precisely because they have learned to live well with vulnerability through creativity and persistence.
