Interviewology: The New Science of Interviewing

by Anna Papalia

“A must-read for seasoned and new managers alike.” —Johnny C. Taylor Jr., SHRM-SCP, CEO of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM)A groundbreaking guide to mastering the job interview, offering proven advice and techniques to discover your unique interview style that is key to interviewing better—for those on either side of the table.Conventional interviewing advice doesn’t work. That’s what Anna Papalia learned through years of experience as an HR professional, consultant for Fortune 500 companies, and teacher at the Fox School of Business. None of the existing tools work for one simple reason: they don’t get to the heart of what actually makes a great interview—self-awareness. At its core, an interview is a set of questions about you. If you don’t know yourself, you won’t do well.Determined to make the process better, more inclusive, and less obscure, Anna spent years researching how people interview and uncovered a new science to interviewing, rooted in the finding that there are four main styles people exhibit in an interview: you can be a Charmer, a Challenger, an Examiner, or a Harmonizer. Your style influences how you view and approach interviews, and ultimately how you perform in them. In Interviewology, Anna teaches you how to identify your individual style (and that of who you are interviewing with) and offers pragmatic tips for using this knowledge to nail your next interview.Packed with wisdom, Interviewology offers clarity and a dynamic, scientifically validated approach that challenges everything you thought you knew about interviewing, providing unique insight into the process, debunking some of the most common myths, and explaining how you can perform better, whether you’re applying for the job or looking for the right candidate.Going beyond generic advice that isn’t useful in the real world—such as memorizing rote answers or strict guidelines—Interviewology is a revolutionary approach that focuses on self-awareness—and how to develop it—to help everyone master their own unique interview style. It’s about the power of knowing yourself and how that insight can lead to a more successful career and life.

Interviewology \ Entrevistología (Spanish edition): La nueva ciencia de las entrevistas de trabajo

by Anna Papalia

Una revolucionaria guía para dominar las entrevistas de trabajo, donde encontrarás consejos y técnicas comprobadas que te ayudarán triunfar en tu búsqueda laboral al descubrir tu estilo personal.Las recomendaciones tradicionales sobre las entrevistas de trabajo no funcionan. Eso aprendió Anna Papalia durante años de experiencia como profesional en el area de recursos humanos, consultora para las compañías de Fortune 500 y profesora en la Fox School of Business. Ninguna de estas herramientas funciona por una sencilla razón: no abordan lo que en realidad hace que una entrevista sea excelente, el autoconocimiento. En esencia, una entrevista es un conjunto de preguntas sobre ti mismo. Si no te conoces, no te irá bien.Decidida a hacer del proceso algo mejor, más inclusivo y menos oscuro, Anna pasó años investigando cómo se llevan a cabo las entrevistas de trabajo y descubrió una nueva ciencia de la entrevista al hallar que existen cuatro estilos principales que demuestran las personas en este tipo de diálogo: puedes ser un carismático, un desafiante, un examinador o un armonizador. Tu estilo influye en tu perspectiva sobre las entrevistas y, en última instancia, en cómo te desenvuelves en ellas. En este libro, Anna te enseña a identificar tu estilo individual (y el de la persona con quien te entrevistas) y ofrece consejos prácticos sobre cómo utilizar este conocimiento para que tu próxima entrevista sea exitosa.Trascendiendo las recomendaciones típicas, que no son útiles en el mundo real —como memorizar respuestas escritas o guías rígidas—, este libro es un acercamiento centrado en el autoconocimiento —y en cómo desarrollarlo— para ayudarnos a manejar nuestro propio estilo de entrevista. Se trata del poder que conlleva conocerte a ti mismo y de cómo ese conocimiento puede conducirte hacia una carrera y una vida más exitosas. ***A groundbreaking guide to mastering the job interview, offering proven advice and techniques to discover your unique interview style that is key to interviewing better—for those on either side of the table.Conventional interviewing advice doesn’t work.

Intimacies, Critical Consumption and Diverse Economies (Palgrave Macmillan Studies in Family and Intimate Life)

by Yvette Taylor Emma Casey

This volume explores and develops the debates surrounding the emotional and material labour involved in producing and reproducing domestic and intimate spaces. It demonstrates the particular pertinence of everyday consumption, especially for women in late modernity, as they experience specific pressures to manage the work-life balance as part of a broader project of neo-liberal selfhood and subject making. Intimacies, Critical Consumption and Diverse Economies places emphasis on everyday life and the mundane forms of leisure and consumption including fashion, second-hand shopping, storing objects, and appropriating everyday spaces for the display of objects. In doing so, each contribution proposes an alternative to the mainstream accounts of spectacular, public consumption. They explore the various ways in which types of consumption might hold value and capital, and explore the potential risks underpinning 'at home' consumption. Taken together, the chapters examine the geographies and spaces of consumption in international and local-global spheres, asking what might constitute forms of critical consumption in and through diverse economies.

Intimate Capitalism: Political Economy of Labour and Culture in Creative Industries

by Bhabani Shankar Nayak

The book explores the concept of ‘intimate capitalism’ within the context of the rising cultural and creative industries. The assimilation of culture with capitalism has produced a mass culture that socialises people with the culture of capitalism, effectively domesticating and controlling the masses by establishing an intimate relationship between labor and working conditions. Intimate capitalism is a new form of capitalism where workers invest their labor and work overtime due to an affective connection to the cultural product they are working on or an intimacy with the cultural working conditions. It critically examines the narratives surrounding the creative economy, as well as digital innovations within cultural industries, to highlight how they are reinforcing and perpetuating exploitative working conditions. The erosion of workers’ rights under intimate capitalism is examined to show how cultural industries seek to dominate the lives of those working within them, leading to an increased commodification of culture and institutionalisation of creative assets in the name of economic growth and development. This book offers a critical framework for understanding intimate capitalism and outlines its impact on workers, particularly those within developing economies. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in cultural economics, the political economy, and labour economics.

Intimate Economies of Development: Mobility, Sexuality and Health in Asia (Routledge Studies in Development, Mobilities and Migration)

by Chris Lyttleton

Aspirations, desires, opportunism and exploitation are seldom considered as fundamental elements of donor-driven development as it impacts on the lives of people in poor countries. Yet, alongside structural interventions, emotional or affective engagements are central to processes of social change and the making of selves for those caught up in development’s slipstream. Intimate Economies of Development lays bare the ways that culture, sexuality and health are inevitably and inseparably linked to material economies within trajectories of modernization in the Greater Mekong Sub-region. As migration expands and opportunities proliferate throughout Asia, different cultural groups increasingly interact as a result of targeted interventions and globalising economic formations; but they do so with different capabilities and expectations. This book uniquely grounds its arguments in interlocking details of people's everyday lives and aspirations in developing Asia, while also engaging with changing social values and moral frameworks. Part and parcel of a widening landscape of mobility and contingent intimacy is the ever-present threats of infectious disease, most prominently HIV/AIDS, and human trafficking. Thus, impact assessment and targeted interventions aim to address negative consequences that frequently accompany infrastructure development and market expansion. This path-breaking book, drawn on more than 20 years of ethnographic research in the Mekong region, shows how current models of mitigation cannot adequately cope with health risks generated by wide-ranging entrepreneurialism and enduring structural violence as dreams of ‘the good life’ are relentlessly enmeshed in strategies of livelihood improvement.

Intimate Economies of Immigration Detention: Critical perspectives (Routledge Frontiers of Political Economy)

by Deirdre Conlon Nancy Hiemstra

International migration has been described as one of the defining issues of the twenty-first century. While a lot is known about the complex nature of migratory flows, surprisingly little attention has been given to one of the most prominent responses by governments to human mobility: the practice of immigration detention. Intimate Economies of Immigration Detention provides a timely intervention, offering much needed scrutiny of the ideologies, policies and practices that enable the troubling, unparalleled and seemingly unbridled growth of immigration detention around the world. An international collection of scholars provide crucial new insights into immigration detention recounting at close range how detention’s effects ricochet from personal and everyday experiences to broader political-economic, social and cultural spheres. Contributors draw on original research in the US, Australia, Europe, and beyond to scrutinise the increasingly tangled relations associated with detention operation and migration management. With new theoretical and empirical perspectives on detention, the chapters collectively present a toolbox for better understanding the forces behind and broader implications of the seemingly uncontested rise of immigration detention. This book is of great interest to those who study political economy, economic geography and immigration policy, as well as policy makers interested in immigration.

Intimate Enemies: Landowners, Power, and Violence in Chiapas

by Aaron Bobrow-Strain

Intimate Enemies is the first book to explore conflicts in Chiapas from the perspective of the landed elites, crucial but almost entirely unexamined actors in the state's violent history. Scholarly discussion of agrarian politics has typically cast landed elites as "bad guys" with predetermined interests and obvious motives. Aaron Bobrow-Strain takes the landowners of Chiapas seriously, asking why coffee planters and cattle ranchers with a long and storied history of violent responses to agrarian conflict reacted to land invasions triggered by the Zapatista Rebellion of 1994 with quiescence and resignation rather than thugs and guns. In the process, he offers a unique ethnographic and historical glimpse into conflicts that have been understood almost exclusively through studies of indigenous people and movements. Weaving together ethnography, archival research, and cultural history, Bobrow-Strain argues that prior to the upheavals of 1994 landowners were already squeezed between increasingly organized indigenous activism and declining political and economic support from the Mexican state. He demonstrates that indigenous mobilizations that began in 1994 challenged not just the economy of estate agriculture but also landowners' understandings of progress, masculinity, ethnicity, and indigenous docility. By scrutinizing the elites' responses to land invasions in relation to the cultural politics of race, class, and gender, Bobrow-Strain provides timely insights into policy debates surrounding the recent global resurgence of peasant land reform movements. At the same time, he rethinks key theoretical frameworks that have long guided the study of agrarian politics by engaging political economy and critical human geography's insights into the production of space. Describing how a carefully defended world of racial privilege, political dominance, and landed monopoly came unglued, Intimate Enemies is a remarkable account of how power works in the countryside.

Intimate Wars: The Life and Times of the Woman Who Brought Abortion from the Back Alley to the Boardroom

by Merle Hoffman

A &“searingly honest debut memoir&” from an activist and award-winning journalist who made a woman&’s right to choose her life&’s work (Kirkus Reviews). Merle Hoffman had built a life as a classical pianist and self-made millionaire before her passion for the equality and freedom of girls and women drew her to a bigger cause: protecting a woman&’s right to have a safe and legal abortion. Hoffman became an expert in women&’s reproductive healthcare and used her entrepreneurial spirit to build one of the most comprehensive women&’s medical centers in the country. In 1971, two years before the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision made abortion legal throughout the US, Hoffman founded the New York abortion clinic Choices. As a medical provider, she pioneered &“patient power,&” encouraging women to participate in their own health care decisions. Through her singular journey, Hoffman had many loves and even adopted a daughter from Russia, but never wavered in her commitment to fighting on the front lines of the feminist movement. &“From her decision to adopt a child to her love affairs, this is the story of one woman&’s quest to live fully. Opinionated, fierce, bold and brash, Intimate Wars chronicles Hoffman&’s efforts to improve women&’s lives and influence history. She deserves our gratitude.&” —Truthout

Into a Downward Spiral: How Our Old Models Lead to Failure--Why Good Teams Fail

by Deborah Ancona Henrik Bresman

The key message that is drilled into all of us in team-building sessions and training guides-and what we're all used to practicing in our organizations-is that effective performance depends on what goes on inside the team. Good internal team functioning is important for success, so it isn't wrong or surprising that teams focus inward. The problem is that it isn't enough. This chapter looks at what happens in exclusively internally focused teams to set them on a misguided path and keep them moving in the wrong direction, illustrating the need for a new model that integrates the external work teams must do to achieve success.

Into the Bear Pit: The Explosive Autobiography

by Craig Whyte

The Scottish venture capitalist shares his side of the story on his controversial involvement with the Glasgow football club.From being the most dominant club in Scottish football history, Rangers F.C., one of the most famous and powerful names in British sport, was sold to venture capitalist Craig Whyte in 2011…for £1.When Whyte walked through the gates at Ibrox, the club was mired in debt and plagued with a toxic culture that seeped everywhere—from the corridors of power to a sectarian hard core in the stands. The “great Whyte hope” was touted for a time as Rangers’ savior but he was soon hung out to dry as the fall guy for Rangers’ misery as the unthinkable happened. The club was plunged into liquidation and the reformed club suffered the indignity of demotion to the third division, the lowest echelon of Scottish professional football.The demise of Rangers saw Whyte’s reputation eviscerated on the pages of every newspaper in the country, his name vilified on radio shows, TV programs and blogs as every aspect of his professional and personal life was picked over. In 2012, he was arrested and accused of fraud. He was put on trial where he faced the full might and resources of the government for his role in the downfall of the club. Although he was ultimately acquitted of all charges, he had to endure years of false accusations from some media outlets and multiple death threats from obsessed fans.Full of startling revelations, this is the previously untold story of greed, corruption and scandal at the heart of Rangers F.C., told, definitively, by the man who was at the very center of the storm.Praise for Into the Bear Pit“Deliciously indiscreet.” —The Scotsman (UK)“Incendiary.” —The Herald (UK)

Into the Raging Sea: Thirty-Three Mariners, One Megastorm, and the Sinking of El Faro

by Rachel Slade

On October 1, 2015, Hurricane Joaquin barreled into the Bermuda Triangle and swallowed the container ship El Faro whole, resulting in the worst American shipping disaster in thirty-five years. No one could fathom how a vessel equipped with satellite communications, a sophisticated navigation system, and cutting-edge weather forecasting could suddenly vanish—until now. <p><p> Relying on hundreds of exclusive interviews with family members and maritime experts, as well as the words of the crew members themselves—whose conversations were captured by the ship’s data recorder—journalist Rachel Slade unravels the mystery of the sinking of El Faro. As she recounts the final twenty-four hours onboard, Slade vividly depicts the officers’ anguish and fear as they struggled to carry out Captain Michael Davidson’s increasingly bizarre commands, which, they knew, would steer them straight into the eye of the storm. Taking a hard look at America's aging merchant marine fleet, Slade also reveals the truth about modern shipping—a cut-throat industry plagued by razor-thin profits and ever more violent hurricanes fueled by global warming. <p> A richly reported account of a singular tragedy, Into the Raging Sea takes us into the heart of an age-old American industry, casting new light on the hardworking men and women who paid the ultimate price in the name of profit.

Into the Raging Sea: Final Voyage of the SS El Faro

by Joseph B. Fuller Mel Martin

Captain Michael Davidson of the container ship SS El Faro was determined to make his planned shipping trip on time-but a hurricane was approaching his intended path. To succeed, Davidson and his fellow officers must plot a course to avoid the storm in the face of conflicting weather reports from multiple sources and differing opinions among the officers on what to do. Over the 36-hour voyage, tensions rise as the ships gets closer and closer to the storm. Compounding the challenge, the El Faro was an old ship about to be scrapped. Its owner, TOTE Marine, was in the process of selecting officers to crew its new ships. Davidson and some of his officers were worried that they would soon lose their jobs.

Into the Storm: Lessons in Teamwork from the Treacherous Sydney to Hobart Ocean Race

by Dennis N.T. Perkins Jillian B. Murphy

The Sydney Hobart Yacht Race is among the most demanding sailing competitions in the world. Unpredictable seas make the 628-nautical-mile course grueling under the best conditions, but the 1998 race proved to be the most perilous to date when a sudden and violent storm struck. Winds gusted over 100 mph and monstrous 80-foot waves towered over boat masts. Six sailors perished and another 55 were saved in what became the largest search and rescue operation in Australias history. In the face of turmoil and tragedy, a crew of amateur sailors piloted their tiny vessel, the AFR Midnight Rambler, not only to the finish but to overall victory. While bigger, better-equipped yachts attempted to maneuver around the storm, Ed Psaltis and his crew made the daring decision to head directly into its path. Their triumph perhaps even their survival owes itself to an extraordinary level of teamwork: an alchemy of cooperation, trust, planning, and execution. Into the Storm chronicles their nearly four-day ordeal and draws parallels to the world of business, revealing 10 critical strategies for teamwork at the edge. Illustrated with examples from the story and compelling case studies, the book sheds light on what teams need to do to succeed in tough times. Finally, Into the Storm provides resources and tools to support teams as they navigate the chaotic seas of business today.

Intoxicating Pleasures: The Reinvention of Wine, Beer, and Whiskey after Prohibition (California Studies in Food and Culture #83)

by Lisa Sheryl Jacobson

In popular memory the repeal of US Prohibition in 1933 signaled alcohol’s decisive triumph in a decades-long culture war. But as Lisa Jacobson reveals, alcohol’s respectability and mass market success were neither sudden nor assured. It took a world war and a battalion of public relations experts and tastemakers to transform wine, beer, and whiskey into emblems of the American good life. Alcohol producers and their allies—a group that included scientists, trade associations, restaurateurs, home economists, cookbook authors, and New Deal planners—powered a publicity machine that linked alcohol to wartime food crusades and new ideas about the place of pleasure in modern American life. In this deeply researched and engagingly written book, Jacobson shows how the yearnings of ordinary consumers and military personnel shaped alcohol’s cultural reinvention and put intoxicating pleasures at the center of broader debates about the rights and obligations of citizens.
