Riassunto:

Do you want to escape from that crappy job that requires you to wear a paper hat, nametag, or biohazard gloves? Would you like to learn how to deal with the asshats in your workplace and turn them into assets in your career search? Are you wondering what can possibly be gained from working for a micromanager or “bosshole” in the workplace? Asshats to Assets: How to Turn Crappy Jobs into Career Gold is a straightforward, funny, no-B.S. guide to how to turn the world’s worst jobs into the world’s best job skills. Free of pain and pop quizzes and with a side of life experience that will make you laugh and groan, you’ll discover: • What’s the best thing about starting at the bottom • What your next and most important tattoo should be • How to deal with a toxic workplace • How to handle bad stuff on your résumé and in interviews …and so much more! Each chapter includes a few easy-to-understand tips to help you improve your skills and find the way to win at the career game. By way of full disclosure, most of the chapters also include some humiliating recounting of a mistake or monumental screwup I have made in the hopes of saving you from similar embarrassment. Here's a sneak peek at what I cover: In Chapter 1, I'll explain why you have to start at the bottom and why it isn't always the worst thing in the world. In Chapter 2, you'll find out what you can really learn from the asshats in the workplace, what J.P.M. means and why it should be your new mantra, and what opinions and anuses really have in common. I'll also share a kick ass recipe for delicious hot cocoa. In Chapter 3, I will cover how to deal with a toxic work environment, explore how confrontational you are, what your priorities are, and I'll even touch on why chocolate and wine aren't always the perfect answer. In Chapter 4, it's all about micromanagers and what you can learn if you're unfortunate enough to wind up working for one of them. I'll also give you some incredibly simple and common-sense tips for stocking grocery shelves. In Chapter 5, I hope to convince you that, though life is short, you shouldn't always just bail on a dead-end job immediately. I also hope to put your mind at ease and convince you that you probably won't get hit by a truck any time soon. And, if that was not enough, I'll teach you how to efficiently clean up vomit. This may seem like useless information right now at this moment, but I promise, someday you'll thank me for it. There's lots more covered, but if you haven't already decided you simply must have this book, then I am not sure what I can do to convince you other than to let you know that it makes a great gift, too. So, what are you waiting for? Unless you are already the CEO of a Fortune 500 company or kind of like the way you look in that polyester uniform shirt and the name tag your boss spelled wrong, get ready to be the best you ever with Asshats to Assets: How to Turn Crappy Jobs into Career Gold.
