Taylor & Francis Essentials of Communication Skill and Skill Enhancement A Primer for Students and Professionals
Book SynopsisFor those who wish to learn or teach the tools of skillful communication, this book provides concrete insight into what makes a person a successful communicator and guides readers in ways to improve their own communication skills and those of others.Predicated on four simple notions â that communication can be done well or poorly, that communication skills matter, that people differ in those skills, and that those skills can be improved â the book helps readers identify and enhance their own communication strengths and address weaknesses, assess the communication skills of others, and coach others to improvement. Written in an accessible style, chapter highlights include an engaging review of the research on the practical implications of communication skills in our professional and personal lives. The nature of communication skill and issues in skill assessment are examined. Particular attention is given to understanding sources of communication-skill deficits and the design of effective communication-skill training programs. A final chapter examines the roles of technology, cross-cultural interaction, and aging as they relate to communication skill. This book is written for students and professionals in fields such as human resources, sales, training, counseling, customer relations, education, health-care, and the ministry, with application for courses in professional communication, applied communication, and communication skills at the undergraduate, advanced professional degree, and continuing education levels.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Neurodivergent Job Candidate
Book SynopsisThis book provides guidance on recruiting, interviewing, and onboarding practices that will allow employers to successfully hire neurodivergent professionals into inclusive, competitive employment. Today, 35% of 18-year-olds with an autism spectrum diagnosis attend college, yet they have a 7585% under-employment and unemployment rate after graduation. While organizations are looking to expand their diversity and inclusion hiring efforts to include neurodivergent professionals, current recruiting and interviewing practices in general are not well-suited to this. With over one-third of the US population identifying as neurodivergent, employers need to address how to attract this talent pool to take advantage of a meaningful segment of the workforce. Readers of this book will gain an understanding of how to guide their organizations through the creation of recruiting, interviewing, and onboarding processes tailored to neurodivergent professionals in any field.Written by aTrade Review"Marcia Scheiner has done it again with a second resource that will prove to be a value add for companies seeking to employ individuals on the Autism Spectrum, in addition to providing clear and direct examples for individuals that are seeking employment. Ms. Scheiner’s overview of how to apply this resource is extremely helpful. Her ability to provide history, application, and foundational principles as a starting point is straightforward and effective. The strategic use of statistics, tables, and flowcharts is helpful as they allow the reader to visualize steps and processes. I see this book being used heavily with a dual focus that benefits employers and potential employees."– Jamell G. Mitchell, EY NCoE Global Community Engagement/Ecosystem Leader"As organizations become increasingly conscious of the imperative of more neurodiversity-inclusive practices, staff in key roles require support and resources to recognize and address potential pitfalls. Marcia Scheiner’s latest book – following the successful blueprint of her first – is packed with information and tips while also being neatly structured and highly navigable. The practices she highlights will help individual recruiters and their organizations conduct hiring that is more intentional, more inclusive, and ultimately more successful."– Ed Thompson, Founder & CEO, Uptimize"What a wonderfully practical and helpful book for employers on why and how to hire autistic people; and for autistic people on how to improve your chances of getting a job. Clearly written and accessible, Marcia Scheiner makes the case for why all employers should embrace neurodiversity."– Professor Simon Baron-Cohen, Cambridge University"Marcia Scheiner’s The Neurodivergent Job Candidate: Recruiting Autistic Professionals is a book long overdue. As we emerge from a post-COVID world, smart businesses will look to diversify their employment efforts to include neurodivergent people. I know from my prior position as CEO of Specialisterne USA, best intentions and publicized desire to hire neurodiverse people do not reach far enough to make an impact. Current recruitment processes screen out potential neurodivergent applicants, resulting in an erroneous belief that there are not enough neurodiverse candidates with the required skills. The Neurodivergent Job Candidate is a must-read to fill in the gaps in common recruitment efforts, allowing companies to screen in this exceptional talent."– Tara Cunningham, Founder, Beyond-ImpactTable of ContentsAcknowledgements; Introduction; How to Use This Book; PART 1: UNDERSTANDING THE ESSENTIALS; Chapter 1 - What Should I Know to Get Started?; The Myth of the "Normal" Brain; Neurodiversity 101; The Language of Neurodiversity; The Language of Autism; Disclosure; Chapter 2 - Why Hire Autistic Professionals?; Business Benefits; Economic Benefits; Societal Benefits; Chapter 3 - Are Neurodiversity Hiring Programs Necessary?; The History of Neurodiversity Hiring Programs; Hiring Approaches; Where Do You Find Autistic Talent?; Launching your own program; Chapter 4 - The Autistic Jobseeker: Not Your Typical Candidate; The Unwritten Rules of the "Hidden Curriculum"; Theory of Mind; Sensory Sensitivities; Anxiety; Chapter 5 - Differences in Autistic Thinking; Disorder, Disability or Difference?; Seeing the "Big Picture"; Reasoning and Decision-Making; Executive Functioning; The Importance of Previewing; PART 2: RECRUITING AUTISTIC TALENT; Chapter 6 - Screening Techniques for the Atypical Resume; Job Fit; The Myth of the Computer Geek; The Atypical Resume; Work History; Chapter 7 - Does Your Company Embrace Neurodiversity?; Appeal to the Broader Autism Community; Become an Employer of Choice; Avoid Job Description Jargon; Simplify the Application Maze; Chapter 8 - Sourcing Autistic Jobseekers; Campus Recruiting; Effective Use of the Internet; Sourcing Partners; The Autism Community; PART 3: INTERVIEWING; Chapter 9 - The Autism Factor in Interviews; The Importance of Appearance; Ways of Speaking; Turn Down the Volume; Chapter 10 - Interview Alternatives; Non-traditional Formats; Interview Practice Modifications; A Word about Virtual Interviewing; The Interview Process: A Different Perspective; Chapter 11 - What Are You Evaluating?
