In "Careers and Motherhood, Challenges and Choices" Karen Mitchell interviews a range of women from a variety of professional backgrounds who have faced the reality of balancing career and motherhood. "Careers and Motherhood, Challenges and Choices" presents an overview of the key issues a woman may face in her lifetime related to having both a career and motherhood, and advises of tips, techniques and strategies to deal with each of these issues. It offers insightful and compelling recommendations for women in search of practical and proven ways to manage a career, and capitalise on the use of resources available before and after becoming a parent. There is a significant debate and coverage in the media about these issues and yet there are very few books, published either in Australia or overseas, that acknowledges each of these issues.There are books which might cover a single issue, there are also books which discuss the difficulties of trying to have it all and there is significant information available on motherhood, pregnancy and birth. Yet there is nothing that really says to the career woman - 'Here are the issues you might have to contend with and this is how you might do it'. This book presents women discussing their remarkable experiences and the consequences of their decisions. How they balance profession, family and identity. The results are impressive and intensely personal. This book combines current views, opinions and advice and results in a very practical, informative and readable guide for women who deal with these key issues - chronologically presented from pre-pregnancy through to motherhood. It also includes the views of senior executives, recruitment specialists and others who influence the careers of women.A special feature is the unique voices of teenage children of career-mums, who talk about the impact on their upbringing.

Contractor's Guide to QuickBooks Pro

According to a national survey, more construction contractors use QuickBooks Pro and QuickBooks than all other accounting programs combined. And for good reason. QuickBooks Pro excels at all the routine paperwork in a construction office: writing checks, keeping track of your bank balance, sending out invoices and statements, creating up-to-the minute profit and loss statements for the month, year, or by job, writing payroll checks, paying suppliers and subcontractors, tracking job costs, comparing estimated and actual costs for each job and much more. But there s a lot to learn in QuickBooks Pro. And setting up an accounting system can be a complex and confusing task for those of us who don t think like an accountant. That's why this book was written because most construction pros aren' t accounting experts and have more important work to do on the job site. Contractor s Guide to QuickBooks Pro 2010 will walk you step-by-step through QuickBooks Pro detailed setup and explain item-by-item how you should be using QuickBooks Pro every day. You ll be set up and running QuickBooks Pro within days rather than weeks. If you'd rather be building homes than burning the midnight oil trying to balance your books, you should have this new book. It includes a CD-ROM with a template for a construction company to help speed your set up, an estimating program with a 5000-item database, a program that converts your estimates into QuickBooks forms so you can compare with your actual costs, and blank construction forms for your use.
