This summer reading list from Bill Gates is exactly what you need - Debut

This summer reading list from Bill Gates is exactly what you need - Debut Heres what the Microsoft founder recommended Resigned your summer away to playing Football Manager and binge-watching Netflix? STOP. Youre rotting your brain away and disappointing your parents. Okay, thats a bit harsh but you can do better. Why not set yourself a summer reading list to smarten yourself up for September? Even better why not use this one from billionaire philanthropist and Americas post-Obama reader-in-chief Bill Gates. I mean if youre gonna take anyones advice, it might as well be the guy who invented MS Paint. Heres what the Microsoft founder recommended Born a Crime , by Trevor Noah So as it turns out, Trevor Noah is not only one of the funniest people on the planet, hes also one of the most interesting. The comedian and host of The Daily Show  wrote this enthralling autobiographical account of his experience growing up as the child of a white man and a black woman in brutal Apartheid South Africa. Bill says: As a longtime fan of  The Daily Show, I loved reading this memoir about how its host honed his outsider approach to comedy over a lifetime of never quite fitting in. The Heart, by Maylis de Kerangal, translated by Sam Taylor Probably the most beautiful example of writing on this list. Taking place in 24 hours,  The Heart was originally written in French and centers around a heart transplant operation. It features many doctors and nurses as characters, so med students take note. Bill says: What de Kerangal has done here in this exploration of grief is closer to poetry than anything else. The sentences are rich and full.    I went to the dictionary a dozen times to look up words I didn’t know. Hillbilly Elegy, by J.D. Vance Another great memoir. This time it describes Vances journey from living in abject poverty in Ohio and Kentucky to attended Yale as a Law student. Started from the bottom, etc. Bill says: While the book offers insights into some of the complex cultural and family issues behind poverty, the real magic lies in the story itself and Vance’s bravery in telling it. Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow, by Yuval Noah Harari No matter you feel about it, humans have radically altered how life works on Earth.  Homo Deus, the sequel to  Sapiens which looked at life to this point, discusses whether its possible for humanity to go anywhere further and if so, where. Bill says:  Its a deeply engaging book with lots of stimulating ideas and not a lot of jargon. It makes you think about the future, which is another way of saying it makes you think about the present. The Better Angels of Our Nature, by Steven Pinker Not officially part of this years summer reading list, but one that Bill gave its own standalone recommendation. Pinkers unique look at the subsiding of violence in humanity in the 21st century inspired Bill and helped inform his own view on philanthropy. Historians, scientists and philosophers  this ones for you. Bill says: If I could give each of you a graduation present, it would be thisthe most inspiring book Ive ever read Connect with Debut on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn for more careers insights.

Think You Cant Find A Job Through An Online Connection Think Again.

Think You Can’t Find A Job Through An Online Connection Think Again. Think You Can’t Find A Job Through An Online Connection? Think Again. Many people I talk to, particularly those over a certain age, scoff at the idea that there can be any true relationship with the folks you meet online. A few of my friends had to be dragged kicking and screaming to LinkedIn. Almost every job seeker I’ve suggested sign up for Twitter says, “That’s not for me.” Really, not for you? Why not? I know many people, myself included, who have developed valuable professional and personal relationships with people they met on LinkedIn and Twitter. Several years ago, I sent a personalized LinkedIn invitation to someone in the career field I hoped to meet. Being local allowed us to arrange lunch. We hit it off immediately. She helped me tremendously with a big project I was working on. A few years later, I was happy to provide a reference. Another trusted colleague became a friend after we met on a Twitter chat. We got to know each other little-by-little online before taking our relationship offline. Our relationship developed over-the-phone and later when we were able to meet in person. Today, both of these women are great friends as well as professional colleagues. There’s no reason that people you meet online can’t become trusted colleagues and even friends. The secret is to develop the relationship by taking it offline. Phone Calls One of the drawbacks of meeting people online is that they may live across country. But, this shouldn’t be a deterrent. An easy way to build a relationship is by setting up a time to chat. Hearing someone’s voice and sharing a laugh or two is a great first step to developing an offline relationship. Supplementing emails phone calls every few months can help strengthen the relationship. Meeting IRL If you’re lucky enough to live locally, follow your phone call with a face-to-face. Nothing replaces meeting someone in person, preferably over a good meal. If you don’t live near each other watch for opportunities to meet. Conferences and conventions provide a chance to meet online connections who are in the same industry. Facebook Facebook is another way to take your online relationship to another level. While you may want to begin with a few phone calls to make sure you want to develop this further, being Facebook friends provides a peek into people’s personal life. So the next time someone suggests that the connections you make online can help you professionally and personally don’t roll your eyes. When you work to develop relationships with the people you meet online, you may be surprised where they lead. It might lead to a potential employer or a treasured friend.

Will Trump Support Paid Parental Leave and Pay Equality

Will Trump Support Paid Parental Leave and Pay Equality The push for pay equity, paid parental leave policies, and the fight against sexual harassment in the workplace have all made significant gains over the past few years. Workplace activists are hoping these issues don’t lose momentumâ€"or, worse, reverse courseâ€"during President-elect Donald Trump’s administration. Emily Martin, general counsel and vice president for Workplace Justice at the National Women’s Law Center, says it’s encouraging to see Ivanka Trump, the President-elect’s daughter, speak out for equal pay and paid leave, most notably at the Republican National Convention. “Obviously [Ivanka] is an adviser who is important in this administration,” Martin says. “I think that helps, that at least someone with the president’s ear seems to have a commitment to these issues.” Video Player is loading.Play VideoPlayMuteCurrent Time  0:00/Duration  0:00Loaded: 0%Stream Type  LIVESeek to live, currently playing liveLIVERemaining Time  -0:00  Playback Rate1xChaptersChaptersDescriptionsdescriptions off, selectedCaptionscaptions and subtitles off, selectedAudio TrackFullscreenThis is a modal window.Beginning of dialog window.

As for whether he’d support equal pay, Trump’s comments on the subject have been all over the map. The official Republican platform does not support equal pay for equal work, and as MONEY has noted in the past, Vice President-elect Mike Pence has said “working mothers emotionally harm their children.” Read Next: ‘Such a Nasty Woman’ and More Demeaning Rhetoric from Donald Trump Martin also points out that Trump’s support of the First Amendment Freedom Act, in addition to making hiring discrimination against LGBT Americans legal on religious grounds, would also open the door for discrimination against unmarried pregnant women and single mothers. She notes that companies have previously tried to deny health insurance to married female workers because the Bible stipulates women cannot be the head of the household. (That case, involving the Fremont Christian School in California, was decided in favor of the women.) “If you start saying religion is a good reason companies shouldn’t have to abide by anti-discrimination laws, then there’s no logical stopping point,” Martin says. As MONEY has previously explained, Trump’s tax plan would also raise taxes on single parents, 80% of whom are women. Read Next: What Hillary Clinton’s Loss Means for Working Women Then there are the less tangible issues, like the country’s chief executive going on record saying women can only get ahead by playing the woman card and surrounding himself with advisers including Roger Ailes, who resigned from Fox News last summer following high-profile charges of sexual harassment.
