free eBook HOW TO LAND AN OFFICE JOB

Post Reply New Topic

I posted this before in General Discussions but I think it should be here. I spent decades in the workforce (and hated every minute) but I know stuff that can help you, so I wrote it all down. A publisher published it for $9, but I've decided it's free to WP. If you'd like to see it or download it for free, it's at

I'd be very grateful for feedback, either in Comments (you'd have to log in to Google) or here.

Looking over it I can see why it's so hard to get a job in an office.

Separate wardrobe for "casual Friday" is insane. I'd just as soon not have it. If you have to dress appropriate for the office, make all days the same...it's just simpler.

Smile all the time? Gad.

Rules like that makes me an advocate for drug use in the workplace.

I'm on page 13. So, basicially - you are asking all of us with Autism or Asperger Syndrome to be A FAKE. Smile all the time. Who are you kidding?

Get real people. I guess I'm not "Cut out' for an "office job". Hmm, I always knew I should have been born an freaking accountant.

I'm telling the truth as I know it. I'm not a smiler and the smiling people were offended. My sister isn't a smiler either, and it showed up on her Performance Review "Never smiles."

I said somewhere in the book that it's not that you *should* want an office job - it's that maybe you already do want one, what with salary and paid vacations and sick leave etc.

And at the very beginning, I said it's an acting job. If you want the salary, play the role. I wrote this book to tell people how, so they don't waste getting fired over small things,

Two publishers told me to cheer it up, make it jolly - but I'm trying to tell everybody the truth. The book tells it like it is. If you're willing to play the role for the salary, go for it. If not, at least you found out in time!
