Introducing author Sophie Green Jenny Wheeler: Hello there, Sophie, and welcome to the show. It's so good to have you with us. Sophie Green - Small town, second chance women's fiction Sophie Green: Hello, Jenny. Thank you very much for having me. Jenny Wheeler: You have made this area of small communities a real winner for yourself. The books you've written about small communities have been Top 10 bestsellers, practically all of them, and the most recent one is The Bellbird River Country Choir. It's about a group of people drawn from disparate backgrounds and places who all meet in this small country town and join a choir. What is it that attracts you to small towns? Sophie Green: I think partly it's because we all form our own small communities within larger communities. I'm Sydney born and bred, but I live not far from where I grew up and I have friends that I've met in the same area and met in other small communities, like working in a book shop. I think we do tend to find our little communities within the larger, and also from a storytelling point of view, small communities are good to work with because I don't have to think about a whole massive cast of characters. I can focus on one particular place and the people who live there. Jenny Wheeler: That's interesting because the book does give a real sense of you understanding ...

Bestselling author Gill Paul returns with a brilliant novel about Lady Evelyn Herbert, the woman who took the very first step into the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, and who lived in the real Downton Abbey, Highclere Castle, and the long after-effects of the Curse of Pharaohs. Jenny: We're in our second episode of Encore, the new show for Binge Reading On Patreon supporters, talking to favorite authors, people who've already been on the podcast, about their latest release. And today we've got international best seller Gill Paul who's already been on the podcast twice before talking about her latest book, The Collector's Daughter, Gill Paul: The Collector's Daughter Gill's previous JOBR shows: Gill Paul's Famous Fabulous Lives, from November 2019: https://thejoysofbingereading.com/gill-paul-famous-fabulous-lives/ And: Love and Betrayal from September 2020: https://thejoysofbingereading.com/jackie-kennedy/ I love the way Gill makes historical events come alive in her fiction, and this book is no exception. The Collector's Daughter is a dual timeline novel moving between the 1920s and the 1970s telling the story of Lady Evelyn Herbert, the English aristocrat who was involved with the opening of Tutankhamun's tomb in the 1920s, and went on to live through the long-term after-effects of the supposed Curse of the Pharaohs She's also got the claim to fame of having grown up in the ‘real' Downton Abbey, Highclere Castle, where the popular TV series was filmed. Gill, It's great to have you with us again. Jenny: So welcome to the show Gill, and tell us about Pharaoh's tomb and Lady Eve part in it all. Gill: Thanks so much for inviting me on the journey. It's lovely to talk to you.  Evelyn was there with her father, the Earl of Carnarvon and Howard Carter when the tomb was discovered and opened in 1922. And all the evidence is that they sneaked in by night without the Egyptian authorities watching over them Lady Eve first to enter tomb And the Eve was the first one to crawl in and she was a young lady from the English aristocracy. And  I thought ‘Gosh', what would it have been like for her, I'd always been interested in Egyptian stories from school days, but it only really came home to me in 2011 when I visited Egypt. And I went to the Valley of the Kings. We went down that long corridor that Eve and her father and Howard Carter would have gone down in 1922 and saw where his tomb had been and then went up to Cairo and saw all the artefacts in the Egyptian museum. And that was staggering. I mean the enormous wealth of all the gold tombs and the funeral masks and the jewelry, and then little personal details like Tutankhamun's had sandals that pictures of Nubians on the soles, the  Nubians were the enemies of the Egyptians so every time he walked, he was walking on his enemies. I loved all the little personal touches I saw in the tomb. That's what really brought it to life for me. Jenny: It's amazing. Now, one of the themes of the story is penetrates the whole story really is the long-term belief that there was some sort of curse involved in opening the tomb and Lady Evelyn did actually suffer quite a lot of personal misfortune in her life, including being involved in a massive car accident, which resulted in a series of small TIA's, as they're called and later more serious strokes. And part of the story is her as an older lady in the 1970s, when her memory is impaired with memory loss and things, that's an interesting part of it because quite a significant part of the story is told by this older character who's impaired. That was obviously something you deliberately chose to handle that way. Two photographs bookmarked life Gill: My inspiration for this novel when I decided to write about Lady Eve's part and this huge historical event or two photographs that kind of bookmarked her life.

Gibt es einen Weg, wie die Rückkehr in den Job für Mütter nicht zu einem Hindernislauf mit ungewissem Ausgang wird? Das Duo der Unternehmensberatung „Brands for Talents“ ist sicher, einen solchen Weg – zusammen mit den Frauen – zu finden. Ina Claßen arbeitete über zwei Jahrzehnte in leitenden Positionen in Personalabteilungen von großen Konzernen, Karoline Iwersen, Diplom-Biologin und vierfache Mutter, suchte als Sales-Managerin nach einem Produkt, das ihr wirklich wichtig ist. Zusammen konzipierten sie das „Rollenentdecker-Coaching“, das sie in dieser Folge von „Wir arbeiten dran“ genauer vorstellen. Im Kern des Programms stehen zwei Überzeugungen: Jede Frau sollte in einem geschützten Raum für sich herausfinden, was sie im Job erreichen will – unabhängig von der Meinung und der Vorstellung anderer. Und sie braucht Unterstützung bei der Umsetzung dieser Vorstellungen – privat wie beruflich. „Unternehmen müssen lernen, die Job-Rückkehr wie andere Personalinstrumente der Talententwicklung zu sehen“, sagt Ina Claßen. Im Podcast sprechen die beiden mit Kristina Appel und Julia Möhn darüber, warum sie lieber von Addition als von Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf sprechen, wie sie Betreuung auf dem Land organisieren und eingefleischte Vollzeit-Fans von Führung in Teilzeit überzeugen.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: “data science” is an ambiguous job title. People use the term to refer to data science, data engineering, machine learning engineering and analytics roles, and that’s bad enough. But worse still, being a “data scientist” means completely different things depending on the scale and stage of the company you’re working at. A data scientist at a small startup might have almost nothing in common with a data scientist at a massive enterprise company, for example. So today, we decided to talk to someone who’s seen data science at both scales. Jay Feng started his career working in analytics and data science at Jobr, which was acquired by Monster.com (which was itself acquired by an even bigger company). Among many other things, his story sheds light on a question that you might not have thought about before: what happens to data scientists when their company gets acquired?

Jeannie shares expert hiring tips to avoid costly mistakes and bring in a truly customer-centric employee who is a great addition to your team. What makes a customer-centric employee? Picking a candidate with the right skillset is important. However, if you want to deliver outstanding experiences, it’s not everything. Most skills revolve around a set of tasks rather than people. So if you’re not careful to hire customer-centric employees, watch out! Because the most “qualified” individual on your team may actually be a detriment to your customer experience. It's not just a customer service thing! Employees who don't interact directly with customers can prioritize their own processes over the very people those processes are built to serve. Some even come out looking like rock stars for being so on top of those processes. Meanwhile, customers suffer! So how do you avoid making this mistake? How do you balance skillset with gut to bring truly customer-centric employees into your team? Today, Jeannie has some important team-building tips to help you define what traits you are really looking for, and how to recognize those traits in your candidates. Learn how to look beyond the skills so you can answer this question before you make a big mistake: Are they qualified to put my customers first?

Job seeking is a necessary process that we've all experienced but is there anything that can relieve the stress or helplessness of submitting your resume, as Jeannie puts it, “into the black void of eternity”?  With mobile marketplaces taking over a significant portion of the job market, the short answer is, yes. Today on the podcast we have an innovative Customer Hero, an app called Jobr. Jobr is based on the Tinder model of swiping left or right, and connects potential talent with employers seeking to build their company culture with like-minded, qualified individuals. The innovation of Tinder and other similar models is gaining footing in the mobile marketplace, especially with qualified millennials seeking employment. The way in which employers attract talent has a huge impact on recruitment methods and HR, and thus, on the type of talent that responds and business leaders are seeking talented employees who will deliver on their enterprise’s customer promise and will do so long term. This is easier to facilitate when you can filter prospective employees and connect with those that match your company’s culture. But while all of this innovation sounds like a great idea, are there any pitfalls in this model? Tune in to find out! What You'll Hear In This Episode Innovations in job hunting for millennials and employers. The app, Jobr. New tactics for working and hiring in the mobile marketplace. Ingenious models to connect talent with employers. Sponsor Service Strategies offers a wide variety of Consulting Services for Support, eService, Field Service and Professional Services operations for technology companies. We have helped industry leading service and support operations enhance operational efficiency and drive world class levels of performance, while improving customer satisfaction and loyalty.
