He doesn\u2019t get too caught up in the scientific jargon surrounding neuroscience, and helpfully, the relevant takeaways related to each \u201cbrain part\u201d are listed in a table form at the end of each chapter, so it&#8217;s reasonably accessible to the non-scientist. Much of each chapter\u2019s content doesn\u2019t strike me as particularly original (when you get a job rejection, no, you should not send a scathing email to your interviewers detailing their poor decision) but it\u2019s still solid.<\/p>\n<p>Much of excelling at work is in the soft skills, the people skills, that largely aren\u2019t taught in a classroom. I could see this book appealing to those who want a more logic-based primer on all the \u201csquishy\u201d parts of working with people, or any job-hunter who appreciates and wants to further understand the marvelous complexity that is the human brain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bring your brain to work: Using cognitive science to get a job, do it well, and advance your career<\/strong><br>by Art Markman<br>New Arrivals Island, 2nd Floor<br><a href=\"https:\/\/uwi-primoalma-prod.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com\/permalink\/f\/1lialos\/UWI71444839310002121\">HF5381 .M268 2019<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since presumably 100% of the students at UWW want to make money someday, I expect that most students would also be interested in the subtitle of this book: how to \u201cget a job, do it well, and advance your career.\u201d &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/library\/archives\/23208\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7252,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[37,1],"tags":[41279,2728,167190],"class_list":["post-23208","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-new-stuff-tuesdays","category-uncategorized","tag-job-hunting","tag-jobs","tag-new-stuff-tuesdays"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23208","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7252"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23208"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23208\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23214,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23208\/revisions\/23214"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23208"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23208"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23208"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
