Y's Up!, by James J. Simon and Nicole D. Simon, focuses on Generation Y and offers tips for success in today's challenging job market SINGAPORE -- Y's Up! 85 Tips from the Trenches to Help You Succeed in Today's No-Guarantees Job Market, by James J. Simon and Nicole D. Simon, aims to give real-world insight into what it takes to get and keep a job in the current market. Inspired by a presentation given to university students on unique skills, attitudes and behaviors required in the workplace, the authors created Y's Up! to be a reference book for job seekers and those wanting to better position themselves for job advancement. Aimed at "Generation Y-ers," roughly defined as 18-30 year-olds, Y's Up! seeks to increase their chances of success in today's demanding job market. Y's Up! offers 85 tips based on the Simons' real-life experiences in the professional world. Acting upon a need to inform Generation Y-ers on "uncommon common sense" about employers' priorities and workplace decorum, the authors offer what they believe are examples not currently taught at universities or job seminars. The Simons claim today's Generation Y workers are at a disadvantage due to their lack of experience and reputation for poor work ethic compared to generations before them. Y's Up! hopes to close this gap by informing young people of the realities of the workplace and how to better position themselves against their peers so they may advance professionally and succeed at employment. Y's Up! is available for sale online at Amazon.com, BookSurge.com and through additional wholesale and retail channels worldwide.
