Donald Asher, America's career guru, believes that success comes from an alignment of passion and preparation. First tip: Your college major has very little to do with your job options.

(They're not what you think!) • How do non-tech people get hired and thrive in tech companies? • How do you set yourself up to get promoted? • How do you prove you have skills that don't show up on your transcripts? • How do you get experience if you can't get a job, or have the "wrong" major? • How can you get famous and influential people to help you? • How do you hit restart if you get stuck in a dead-end job out of college? • What should you do if you're a graduate and living in your parents' basement? • What should you do if you're a junior to make sure you don't end up in that basement? Whether you're twenty and still in college or twenty-nine and still wondering how to start your life, HOW TO GET ANY JOB offers the most creative and innovative thinking on life launch to date.

Whodunit?
Author: Rosemary Herbert
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0198035829
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
Who populates the pages of crime and mystery writing? Who are the characters we willingly follow into the mystery genre's uneasy imaginative territory? And who created those characters in the first place? What life experience and expertise informs their work? What are the sources of their themes, regional accents, and even the axes that some grind? Why do some wish to give us a good laugh, while others seem hell-bent on making us shudder? Whodunit? answers these questions and more. Here mystery expert Rosemary Herbert brings together enlightening and entertaining information on hundreds of classic and contemporary characters and authors. Some--such as P.D. James, Ian Rankin, Sherlock Holmes, and Kinsey Millhone--appear in individual entries. Still more keep company in articles about characters we admire, such as the Clerical Sleuth, and in pieces about those we love to hate, including the Femme Fatale and Con Artist. There is even an article on a figure that haunts so many great works of mystery--The Corpse. Drawing on the Edgar Award-nominated volume The Oxford Companion to Crime & Mystery Writing, Herbert adds 101 new entries on the hottest new names in works ranging from puzzling whodunits to chilling crime novels.
