Review The Costs of Bad Hiring Decisions & How to Avoid Them, Second Edition / CRC:In the business environment, hiring managers have two main goals: (1) hire the best people for your organization, and (2) contain costs. In order to do so, you must have a clear understanding of the impact that a bad hiring decision can have on your business. The US Department of Labor estimates that the average cost of a bad hiring decision can equal 30% of the first year's potential earnings. While these results can be devastating, this is a problem which business can learn to avoid. By following the Carol Hacker's advice, you will gain a better understanding of the hiring process, and at the same time improve your hiring skills. Loaded with practical advice for making sound selections, the text offers "hiring friendly" tips for everything from deciding whether to fill a vacancy, to defining the job and extending a job offer. Each of the book's five parts concentrates on an important aspect of hiring, and includes a checklist to help you remember important points. This new Second Edition of the highly acclaimed book, The Costs of Bad Hiring Decisions & How to Avoid Them, is still the only book to address the real costs of bad hiring decisions and their devastating effects, and to offer 130 tips for avoiding them. This superb guide is easy to read and should be required reading for everyone who makes hiring decisions.

Review Gender, Work and Tourism / Routledge:Tourism is the world's third largest industry, employing high numbers of women in industrialized and developing countries. Gender, Work and Tourism examines the central role played by women in the tourism industry. It discusses the nature of their work and the ways in which tourism creates tensions between the attitude and conduct of tourists and the beliefs and behavior of local women. By studying a range of tourist destinations across the world, it demonstrates how women have been excluded from some occupations and how their work in others is associated with ideologies of gender and social sexuality. Gender, Work and Tourism examines the segmentation of tourism work in Northern Cyprus, women's and men's work in Bali and the division of social and political power, gendered tourism work in Mexico and the Philippines, material and ideological changes in sex tourism in Southeast Asia and the exploitation of South-east Asian women in Japan.
