The Career Activist Republic
By Peter Weddle

A revolution of workplace liberation is sweeping across America.  Don’t miss it!

The nation’s working men and women aren’t becoming free agents.  They’re transforming themselves into “freed agents” … into career activists.  And you can join them!

The Career Activist Republic is based on three startling ideas:

• Every human being is a person of talent—they are endowed with a capacity for excellence which enables them to accomplish extraordinary feats at work.
• In today’s turbulent global marketplace, employers are no longer hiring even perfectly qualified candidates—what they want, what they need to employ is talent.
• That new dependency empowers every American to work for him or herself while being employed by someone else—to create employment security they can actually count on even in difficult times.

“The most innovative and exhilarating examination of the American workplace since The Free Agent Nation, and one that makes more sense.”

Recognizing Richard Rabbit
By Peter Weddle

Recognizing Richard Rabbit is a fable for working adults and those who will be, whether you’re a seasoned pro or a first time job seeker, a college junior or a senior executive. It’s a little book that will have a huge impact on your sense of fulfillment and success in the world of work.

In the genre of Who Moved My Cheese?, this tale recounts the adventures of some forest animals who discover the secret to authentic living. Unlike any other book of its kind, however, it’s a story that’s told in two synchronized journeys: one in fiction—the fable—and the other in nonfiction—a parallel self-interview. Together, they invite you to tap into both your creative and analytic talents and learn how you can become the person of your dreams.

Why is that important? Because the first step toward genuine and enduring happiness is recognizing your own true self. When you express and experience that unique person in your career and your life, you empower yourself to be the best you can be. And it’s that superlative version of yourself who grants you the profound contentment, the deep sense of satisfaction that comes from having fulfilled your destiny.

Postcards From Space
Being the Best in Online Recruiting & HR Management
By Peter Weddle

Internet recruiting regularly goes through cycles where it fixates on the latest “great new thing.” While these new developments offer fascinating possibilities, however, it is the enduring best practices that yield results today.

Peter Weddle has been writing about the Best Practices in online recruiting since 1996. In a bi-weekly column for The Wall Street Journal and in his own newsletter, he has covered virtually every aspect of sourcing, recruiting and managing talent on the Internet.

Whether it's:

writing job postings for “A” level candidates,

using the Internet to find prospects who don’t have a resume,

building relationships with passive job seekers,

designing and operating an effective Career area on a corporate Web-site,

implementing a corporate employment brand online,

using technology to improve retention among top employees,

managing change brought on by the introduction of new technology,

or any of a myriad of other topics,

Weddle has covered what works and what works best. He has explored the challenges and offered innovative approaches that get results. No wonder The Washington Post called him, “a man filled with ingenious ideas.”

Now, you can read the collected wisdom of this Internet guru in the most comprehensive, yet “recruiter friendly” primer on Internet recruiting and HR management available anywhere. Unlike other books, Postcards from Space recognizes the time constraints facing recruiters and HR generalists. Each topic is covered in a number of short essays—postcards, if you will—that can be read quickly, in a single sitting. While all the concepts and strategies are there, the book concentrates on providing practical, easy-to-use tips and insights that will put the Internet to work for you right now.

‘Tis of Thee
A Son's Search for the Meaning of American Patriotism
By Peter Weddle

When you sit around the dinner table with your kids, do you ever talk about patriotism? Sure, you know what it feels like, but can you tell them what it means? Do you have the words to describe how patriotism is expressed and why it’s important? If not, 'Tis of Thee is for you.

On September 11, 2001, the United States of America was attacked by terrorists. For those of us who lived through their horrific acts, the day began bright with hope and possibilities and ended dark with despair and fear.

As with the attack on Pearl Harbor, the day’s events changed the focus of our lives. America was a nation consumed with its pursuit of Happiness on the morning of September 11th; by the evening of that day, it was united in its determination to protect and preserve Life and Liberty for ourselves and our families, for our present and our future.

This book is about American patriotism. It is an intensely personal book—not unlike Tuesdays With Morrie—written largely in the two years prior to the terrorist assault on this country. It was finished in the week immediately following the attack.

The book recounts the year-long “conversation” between a son and his father, between a living American and one resting in Arlington National Cemetery. Their topics range from the Vietnam War to the American Dream, but always, their conclusion is the same: America is as good, as vibrant, as hopeful as the patriotism of we, its people.
