Reviews

Tim Whitney has done a great job providing an easy-to-read, valuable, and common sense guide for temporary employees, which will help them be successful in their temporary jobs, and also be important in their building of full-time careers. By the same token, temporary agencies and employers should be able to effectively use this guide to make working with temps a 'win-win-win' proposition, making everyone more effective and efficient. -Bob Ziek, President, Zsource, Limited For a lot of young people looking to start a career, temping is a way to earn, learn, and generate momentum in building a career. Tim Whitney's book, The Fast Track 50, is a modern-day primer and tutorial that clearly and succinctly serves as a playbook for the temp who has an eye on the future or, as Tim puts it in his first of 50 tips, an "eye on the prize!" I highly recommend this book for temps, their bosses, and colleagues! -Dr. Robert Goehrke, CEO, International Products Group, and Harvard PhD In this job economy, which will not change very soon, temporary help, unfortunately, is a way of life for more and more workers and employers. Tim Whitney's Fast Track 50 is easy-to-read, comprehensive despite its brevity, and puts everybody right on track. If all temps followed these basic, insider team-building rules, companies would improve their bottom line, temp services would reduce turnover, and more opportunities would be created for workers. -Lonnie Howard, President, Foxtail Foods, Cincinnati, OH Implement Tim Whitney's Fast Track 50 and watch your value rise to any company! And implementation means, I believe, that your "temp" days are only temporary, and "permanent" employment is waiting just around the corner! -Paul Frase, Retired NFL Player (Jets, Jaguars, Packers, and Ravens), Founder, the Joshua Frase Foundation The real 'gold' here is the theme of teaching people how their behavior can make them part of the business' team immediately, rather than being an outsider or expendable resource. A temporary job can be a foothold to a full-time career instead of simply a short-term destination. This little book creates the roadmap! -Steve Dailey, Business Coach and Mindset Mentor, AchievementBridge (www.achievementbridge.com)
