Whether you're considering a career in Emergency Medical Services, wonder what it's like to be an EMT or paramedic, or want to know what it takes to be a first responder, this book is for you. Dave Molloy draws on his decades of experience in the field to share an insider's view of what it takes to excel in the field. He emphasizes that if you want to get into the EMS industry for any other reason than trying to make a difference at a critical moment, you are speeding in the wrong direction. He also shares exciting stories from his career, such as the time he found himself in an ambulance with his partner, Danny, during an active shooting. He made some mistakes, such as turning on his siren (making them a target), and he learned to always be aware of your surroundings to keep yourself safe. From being at a person's side during his last breath, to watching a parent cry for him to save her child, to being there when a baby is born into this world, to even seeing a husband give his life for his wife, Molloy has been there-and seen that EMS is not what everyone thinks.

Both my grandfathers died before I was born. When I was a young man, my father couldn't have given me counsel. We had a difficult relationship, and he didn't know how. Consequently, I learned far too much the hard way. I fumbled, I hurt others, and I was often bewildered.

Over the decades, I've come to realize that while my particular situation was unique, a great many men, perhaps the majority, didn't have an older man who could have provided advice. This is my motive in writing this book. If a few men make a few less consequential mistakes than I did, my efforts will be rewarded.

How is it possible that both university graduates and unfilled job openings are both at record-breaking highs? Our world has changed. New and emerging occupations in every industry now require a combination of academic knowledge and technical ability. With rising education costs, mounting student debt, fierce competition for jobs, and the oversaturation of some academic majors in the workforce, we need to once again guide students towards personality-aligned careers and not just into college. Extensively researched, (Re)Defining the Goal deconstructs the prevalent one-size-fits-all education agenda. The author provides a fresh perspective, replicable strategies, and outlines six proven steps to help students secure a competitive advantage in the new economy. Gain a new paradigm and the right resources to help students avoid the pitfalls of unemployment, or underemployment, after graduation.

When we find ourselves in a new place or are feeling lost, we look for directional signs, recognizable landmarks and more to help us find our way. This is wayfinding.

AS SEEN ON GOOD MORNING AMERICA

If you want to beat the competition when preparing for college and career success, Brand Up is the one book you need to stand up, stand out, and succeed.

Brand Up is the modern playbook that equips teens with strategies and tools to succeed in high school, college, and their first job. It's packed with sage advice, practical tips and templates, and in-depth skill-building guidance for networking, interviewing, entrepreneurship, and social media. It's essential to stand out in our increasingly connected, cluttered, and competitive world. Any teen would be remiss not to read Brand Up--no other workbook on the market helps readers build a positive personal brand and digital footprint, along with real-life skills, early on. Veteran marketer Stacey Ross Cohen's guidance helps readers craft a personal brand to successfully navigate classrooms, college admissions offices, internships, and even board rooms.

The Brand-Up Difference:
- Identify your superpower(s) and develop a strong point of difference to stand out in a sea of sameness
- Be proactive about managing your online presence and leverage social media to achieve academic and career goals
- Develop real-world skills (networking, interviewing, entrepreneurship, empathy) for a bright future

The Power of a PhD is a shocking playbook that reveals how research doctors held hostage in academia are breaking free to cure diseases, save lives and invent mind blowing tech as top employees at global corporations.

In a tech-dominated world, the most needed degrees are the most surprising: the liberal arts.

Did you take the right classes in college? Will your major help you get the right job offers? For more than a decade, the national spotlight has focused on science and engineering as the only reliable choice for finding a successful post-grad career. Our destinies have been reduced to a caricature: learn to write computer code or end up behind a counter, pouring coffee. Quietly, though, a different path to success has been taking shape.

In You Can Do Anything, George Anders explains the remarkable power of a liberal arts education - and the ways it can open the door to thousands of cutting-edge jobs every week.

The key insight: curiosity, creativity, and empathy aren't unruly traits that must be reined in. You can be yourself, as an English major, and thrive in sales. You can segue from anthropology into the booming new field of user research; from classics into management consulting, and from philosophy into high-stakes investing. At any stage of your career, you can bring a humanist's grace to our rapidly evolving high-tech future. And if you know how to attack the job market, your opportunities will be vast.

In this book, you will learn why resume-writing is fading in importance and why telling your story is taking its place. You will learn how to create jobs that don't exist yet, and to translate your campus achievements into a new style of expression that will make employers' eyes light up. You will discover why people who start in eccentric first jobs - and then make their own luck - so often race ahead of peers whose post-college hunt focuses only on security and starting pay. You will be ready for anything.

An invaluable guide for scholars stifled by the traditional academic route

In the increasingly competitive world of academia, simply mastering your discipline is no longer enough to guarantee career success or personal fulfillment. The Entrepreneurial Scholar challenges scholars at all stages--from doctoral students to tenured professors--to break free from conventional academic pathways by adopting an entrepreneurial mindset. What opportunities can you create based on who you are, what you know, and who you know?

Drawing on her experiences in higher education, start-ups, and management consulting, as well as interviews with a range of academics and entrepreneurs, Ilana Horwitz provides a road map for those stifled by traditional academic norms and expectations. This book calls on scholars to create ideas--not just consume them. It offers strategies to thrive in academia with limited resources and in the face of uncertainty. Embracing an entrepreneurial mindset entails viewing yourself as a knowledge producer, enhancing collaboration, creatively identifying resources, and effectively sharing your ideas.

Horwitz empowers all scholars--particularly women and first-generation, low-income, and BIPOC individuals--to see themselves as proactive agents in their educational and career trajectories, despite structural constraints, unclear expectations, or unresponsive advisors. With actionable advice, real-world applications, and inspiring success stories, this guide is vital for anyone aspiring to excel within and beyond the ivory tower.

Imagine a school with a culture so positive that everyone thrives: students and educators alike. Classrooms are lively, students feel they're part of a community that cares about them, and teachers are happy and productive. Too good to be true? Not in a ridiculously amazing school. There are many of them all across the country. What are their secrets to success?

In this book, principal Tracey Smith and Jeff Waller, co-author of The 7 Mindsets to Live Your Ultimate Life, show how taking care of educators first--and cultivating supportive relationships--results in profound and positive changes. Smith and Waller explore the five key elements of what they call courageous schools: schools that understand it takes a whole teacher to teach the whole child. They reveal the one variable that stands out as a predictor of sustained excellence...and it isn't about leadership style, teaching practices, or demographics.

There's no question that teaching is hard work with little instant gratification, and too many educators go to work each day feeling unappreciated and overburdened. But it shouldn't--and doesn't--have to be that way. Smith and Waller offer practical solutions and a road map to drive real and meaningful change within the school and classroom. It's possible to create a nurturing climate where teachers are respected and have the power to transform lives...not just their students' lives, but their own.

Rather than simply describing career development theories, the completely updated second edition of Foundations of Career Counseling: A Case-Based Approach uses eight realistic, diverse client scenarios to help students connect with the material and master career counseling content and skills. Balancing both theory and application, chapters about the career counseling process, intake interviews, and the use of tests, card sorts, and resources contain transcripts, examples, and sample assessment results from simulated sessions with these fictional clients. Suzanne Dugger's down-to-earth writing style clearly explains complex concepts in everyday language. Future counselors will develop a thorough understanding of both theory and technique pertaining to career development interventions with children and young adults as well as with adults―including specific populations such as persons with disabilities, military veterans, ex-offenders, homemakers and caretakers transitioning back into the world of work―and even themselves.

This text reflects the many profound changes in the world of work and the profession of career counseling since the first edition was published. Changes include a focus on the massive impact of the COVID pandemic on work and all key updates with respect to assessments, legal and ethical issues, and models and CACREP standards.

Designed for students taking courses in career counseling, this text also provides a full chapter dedicated to the career development of students seeking graduate degrees in counseling.

This book is for game designers of all experience levels and also for the teams, developers, and support staff they work with. It showcases the reality of what game designers actually do (or should be doing) and sheds light on some widespread misconceptions of the job. This is an easy-to-read, practical guide for the following people:

Game Designers: Understand what Game Designers really own and the skills required to be successful. Anyone can design games but not everyone is a Game Designer. What distinguishes those two is the team. Game Designers are part of a passionate development team and working successfully with that team is as important as the game design itself. This book reveals how to successfully drive the gameplay experience from vision to final product. It also dives deeper into the skills required to inspire the team and build belief in the design.

Future Game Designers: If you want to become a Game Designer because you believe you have great game ideas then you'll be truly disappointed with the actual job. Your ideas aren't as important as your critical thinking and ability to design. In short, how you turn the millions of ideas already out in the world and the thousands of ideas the dev team already has into solid designs that solve the current problem, fit the vision's goals, and enhance the gameplay experience. This book will further discuss the difference between Ideas and Designs as well as dive deep into the true day to day job of a Game Designer.

Teams/Support: For everyone else already in game development but not on the design team, you'll be able to use the knowledge in this book to increase your understanding of game design and better your collaboration with the designers on your teams. After all, it's the game designer's job to inspire you. Great design means nothing without a team driving their passion into the product. The team is the designer's first customer. The moment they forget that, morale starts to fall and the game starts to suffer. But that doesn't mean the customer is always right. This book will showcase what designers are expected to own and how they should always turn to the team for ideas and feedback.

Whether you're new to game design, looking to hone your skills, or dreaming of completely restructuring your design team's philosophy, there's something here for you. The ultimate goal of this book is to raise the role of Game Designer to a higher standard across the video game industry.

Across the nation, there is a shortage of teachers in education. Education today seems to be becoming more challenging. There are more tasks and requirements that are being placed on teachers. These challenges have caused a decline in students desiring to enter the field of education as well as teachers being motivated to stay in this field. However, given all the tasks and responsibilities of this field, it is evident that being a teacher is still a rewarding career. Education is more than teaching students the curriculum. As a teacher, you enter the field in which your job is truly a calling as you meet the needs of diverse students. There is a hidden curriculum in education in which teachers must help instruct and guide the students in life skills as well. There are diverse students who deal with various issues whose only support system is the teachers within the school. These students desire and desperately need the impact of a great teacher. As you read this book, the desire to become an effective teacher will be awaken as you will see just how teachers can impact the lives of children. Often the passion of teaching is overshadowed by the requirements of state standards. However, through reading this book, these passions which were overshadowed will once again be restored into the educational system through you, the motivated and inspired teacher. This book will provide deep insight and encouragement for beginning teachers to enter this multi-faceted educational system. It will inform those who are thinking of becoming teachers just how important they are to students, society, and the world. It will provide motivation for the teacher that is currently in the field. If you find yourself asking is this job still for you after all these years, this is the book for you. Your passion and love for teaching will be restored. After reading this work, your last thought will be, I Want To Be A Teacher.

An indispensable guide for grad students and academics who want to find fulfilling careers outside higher education

An estimated ninety-three percent of graduate students in the humanities and social sciences won't get a tenure-track job, yet many still assume that a tenured professorship is the only successful outcome for a PhD. With the academic job market in such crisis, Leaving Academia helps grad students and academics in any scholarly field find satisfying careers beyond higher education. Short and pragmatic, the book offers invaluable advice to visiting and adjunct instructors ready to seek new opportunities, to scholars caught in tenure-trap jobs, to grad students interested in nonacademic work, and to committed academics who want to support their students and contingent colleagues more effectively.

After earning a PhD in classics from the University of Virginia and teaching at Tulane, Christopher Caterine left academia for a job at a corporate consulting firm. During his career transition, he went on more than 150 informational interviews and later interviewed twelve other professionals who had left higher education for diverse fields. Drawing on everything he learned, Caterine helps readers chart their own course to a rewarding new career. He addresses dozens of key issues, including overcoming psychological difficulties, translating academic experience for nonacademics, and meeting the challenges of a first job in a new field.

Providing clear, concrete ways to move forward at each stage of your career change, even when the going gets tough, Leaving Academia is both realistic and filled with hope.

Planning Adulting starts with The Career Planning Guide

A motivational interactive workbook in which students and undecideds choose a career path directly inside the guide.

Use this direct, specific method to educate, understand and inspire yourself to reach your full potential in only 10 chapters.

NOTE: You will only get out of this guide what you put into it. If you are not willing to put in the time and effort; don't buy it!

What is Adulting?

Adulting is taking life by the horns. It's not just paying the bills but taking the responsibilities that come with life and thriving off them. It's being successful in not just your friends and family's eyes but having true happiness in yourself.

Happiness to me is how Earl Nightingale explains success:
Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal; success is anyone who is doing a predetermined job because that is what they decided to do, deliberately; only 1/20 does this.

This means that success is determined by you. By what makes you happy.

Unfortunately, in the amazing red white and blue, in the beautiful US of A we are plagued with a current lifestyle focused on goods. Focused on the next new smart phone, or shiny new car that will be old in a short few months or years.

It's up to us to demand success! But not for free, by working for it. We're not afraid to go out there, roll our sleeves up and get dirty. To push forward for the life of happiness we dream about, we thirst for, we require.

Use this specific step by step guide to see inside yourself, to identify your wants, your needs and more. To understand the environment and self in a way that formats our goals so that we can see and understand them. To lay out a plan to attack our goals with the fierce mentality prior generations used to wage war on evil forces of dictators and racists.

Inspiration to do this comes from you. Inside of you. It simply takes this plan of attack.

The Career Planning Guide for Planning Adulting, is for all walks of life.

It is ideal for:

• Job hunting
• Organizing plans and goals
• Decide what route is best for you
• Choosing a college degree major
• Considering Military or Vocational / Tech school
• A guide through college
• Self-employment ideas
• Becoming an entrepreneur
• Navigating anew business enterprises
• Choosing a Military Occupation Specialty (MOS)
• Military Separations

It can help with:

• Finding yourself (self-help)
• Gaining motivation, inspiration and direction
• Knowing and pushing your limits
• Building confidence
• Becoming a more positive person
• Overcoming life obstacles and depression
• Transitioning from the military back into civilian life
• Overcome drug or alcohol addiction through goal planning.
• Being content in retirement
• Making a resume; confidence for interviewing

Know and push your limits. Set goals and understand the reasons behind them. Take these steps to gain motivation, find inspiration and direction. Reach your full potential through guided reflection and planning.

Sometimes it's the vast sea of options we have that can debilitate us from deciding a direction to go. Fear not, we're going to weigh these options on the scale of life. We will use a clear-cut, kiln dried, hog-tied method to get you where you want to be, and then create a plan to make it so. Take this journey step by step, chapter by chapter and remove interruptions and distractions when you do so. When an idea or thought pops into your head you will be able to put it on my copyrighted chart included in this guide.

There are many guides, but THIS ONE IS YOURS!

Written by experts in dental school admissions, this nearly 500-page book clearly illuminates details with data, charts, and graphs to make informed decisions about your future. Additionally, the text clarifies the dental school application (AADSAS), suggesting ways to organize yourself and better understand what is required. Information on dental schools, separated by region, offers you a valuable resource as you plan your road ahead. The layout of the book is easy to follow.

Securing your place in medical school requires more than just a few science classes and the DAT. Applicants should have a demonstrated understanding of the dental field, express genuine interest, and have additional knowledge or experiences that help the admissions committee choose you over another deserving candidate.

The practice of dentistry is a one-on-one personal experience with patients. While some patients enter for a routine cleaning or checkup, others are in extreme pain or are fearful of what a dentist might find or do. Thus, a positive, upbeat personality and a desire to help people are qualities admissions officers consider when interviewing candidates.

Challenges arise on the job that are unpredictable. Dentists must be able to make quick decisions and have good critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Also, many dentists work in their own practices with the help of assistants. Thus, a dentist must be a good manager, a self-starter, and able to work both meticulously and independently.

Most dental schools will interview you to determine your resilience, fortitude, problem-solving ability, and character.

This book is written by a graduate of the University of Louisville School of Dentistry and a top college admissions consultant with numerous degrees and 35 years of experience. This book is an excellent resource for you to use on your dental school admissions journey.
