An easy-to-follow, nine-step process for how to land your dream job and cut through the noise of job-searching in the 21st century. Banging your head against the wall about the job search? Wondering why nobody's even bothering to send you a rejection letter (much less an interview request)? You are not alone. This process is a beast, but there's good news: #EntryLevelBoss is the book for you. This is an easy-to-follow roadmap for transforming yourself from frustrated job seeker into hired, happy, productive human. One part behind-the-scenes memoir, one part playbook, #EntryLevelBoss lays out career coach Alexa Shoen's proven 9-step methodology for approaching the job search during these crazy times we're living through. Think of it like a fitness plan--except instead of killer abs, you wind up with multiple interviews for a bunch of jobs you actually want. Cool, right? This is not another manifesto about finding your passion. (I mean, yes, let's find your passion, sure, but the rent is also due and I would assume you're interested in getting paid.) This is a real plan that's based on the real rules of the game. You'll learn how to effectively identify your future hiring manager, for example, and slide into their DMs in the least creepy way possible. Alexa Shoen is the internet's leading confidant for panicking job seekers. She has guided thousands of people into full-time employment using these exact steps. Even if you're convinced you're the least hireable person on the planet, Alexa's got you covered.
Butterflies, Buses, and a Guardian Angel
A teacher's memories of childhood poverty, heartbreak, and loneliness were mirrored in the eyes of her students. This begins a story of teaching, tragedy, and triumph. Inspired by euphoric dreams with loved ones on the other side, a mysterious "go ahead" voice, and her mother's caring nature, she began a program to provide faith, hope and love for the children. She called it Suspreno. Likened to a butterfly by the children, the teacher suffers the loss of her mother and adorns her resting place with one final lavender rose. The teacher and the kids stick together and survive a myriad of adventures. Although there were dangers on their fifteen-year odyssey, it's clear this group was guided and protected by guardian angels. Together, they also experience exhilaration when they crowd onto buses headed for "one more taste of heaven" at Suspreno meetings. This book will make you want to examine your place in life and look deeper into the eyes of every little child you see.

When Politics Becomes Personal

When Politics Becomes Personal

Can we be good partisans without demonizing our political opponents? Using insights from political science and social psychology, this book argues for the distinction between positive and negative partisanship. As such, strong support for a political party does not have to be accompanied by the vilification of the opposing party and its members. Utilizing data from five different countries, Bankert demonstrates that positive and negative partisanship are independent concepts with distinct consequences for political behavior, including citizens' political participation and their commitment to democratic norms and values. The book concludes with the hopeful message that partisanship is an essential pillar of representative and liberal democracy.

Drawing on the latest social science research, original interviews, and their experiences running the world's first university-based digital investigations lab, Koenig and Lampros provide practical tips for maximizing the benefits and minimizing the harms of being online. In the wake of the global pandemic, they ask: How are people processing graphic news as they spend more time online? What practices can newsrooms, social media companies, and social justice organizations put in place to protect their employees from vicarious trauma and other harms?

This book has a collection of poems that can show you there is always someone who understands. Someone who can relate or makes you think about a current situation in your life. I wrote this book to show a different side to life. I do not see life through rose colored glasses. I like to tell the real story. Some poems are based off of my own experiences in life while others are just about what I saw on the news that day. There is a poem in here for everyone. Even if you are not going through a bad time in your life you can relate to some of these poems. If any of these poems make you rethink something you said or did or even change your perspective on something, I have done my job. These poems show the world in a light that not many are used to seeing. I prefer to show people the world I always see. The life I have been living or the life I have grown used to being brought up in. This world can be an interesting and frustrating place. I wanted to make this book to show you and many others Life As I Know It.

Photographing Crime Scenes in Twentieth-Century London
How can we read crime scenes through photography? Making use of micro-histories of domestic murder and crime scene photographs made available for the first time, Alexa Neale provides a highly original exploration of what crime scenes can tell us about the significance of expectations of domesticity, class, gender, race, privacy and relationships in twentieth-century Britain. With 10 case studies and 30 black and white images, Photographing Crime Scenes in 20th-Century London will take you inside the homes that were murder crime scenes to read their geographical and symbolic meanings in the light of the development of crime scene photography, forensic analysis and psychological testing. In doing so, it reveals how photographs of domestic objects and spaces were often used to recreate a narrative for the murder based on the defendant's perceived identity rather than to prove if they committed the crime at all. Bringing the history of crime, British social and cultural history and the history of forensic photography to the analysis of the crime scene, this study offers fascinating details on the changing public and private lives of Londoners in the 20th century.
