 | Earning a Crust
Author: Peter Cross
Paperback • 216 x 135mm • 212pp • £12 99 • 1-85252-396-4 • 2002
Unlike most career books, Earning a Crust talks to people who actually work and live their jobs. It is not a ‘how to get this or that job’ book but an inspirational volume for anyone wishing to consider options that they might not otherwise have thought of.
The book covers around 75 detailed interviews with women (and one man!) who, for the most part, work in atypical employments. The interviews developed from a series of articles that appeared in national weekday and Sunday papers.
The jobs covered range from chimneysweep and canoeist to taxidermist, hat maker and lorry driver, touching on unusual and challenging careers in entertainment, caring and health, the outdoor life, food and drink, applied arts, around the house and the body beautiful. The book also contains a wealth of useful and useable references, contact details and trade organisations.
This is a book for all readers, not just women, as the details of the jobs are just as applicable to men.

 | Executive Express
Authors: Anthony Williams and Bill Pitkeathley
Paperback - A5 - 200pp - £16.99 - ISBN 1-85252-510-X -
You are young and ambitious, and you have done well in your management career so far; but how do you reach the top or close to it, and how do you plot your course? Today, your employer will not do it for you, though you may be lucky enough to have a mentor or an executive coach to help and advise. The planning and the decisions, though, are up to you alone, and it is you who must navigate your own career, no longer in calm seas but sometimes through storms and tempests.
To avoid shipwreck and to arrive safely in port, you need a chart and a knowledgeable pilot. This book will give you both.

 | Jobs for the Boys
Author: Peter Cross
Paperback • A5 • 208pp • £14.99 • 1-85252-405-7 • 2002
A companion book to 'Earning a Crust'.
This book details discussions with a wide range of men who actually work and live their jobs. The jobs in question are not necessarily those that a job-seeker would look for first. To that end, the book is an inspiration to such people to look further afield and consider some occupations that they might not even have thought of.
There are around 75 interviews in the book, with fascinating insights into employment possibilities and opportunities. The jobs range across most industries and include descriptions of the working lives of men who really know what those jobs are like. They also reveal the downsides of their work as well as the highs, so that readers are clear in their minds about their own suitability or otherwise for these unusual occupations.
As with 'Earning A Crust', the book is eminently suitable for all readers, not just males. The jobs are just as applicable to men as women.
