How to Get a Job...by Me, the Boss by Sue Heap, Sally Lloyd-Jones

4.0

If only getting a job were really as easy as the super-ballerina-soccer-mermaid-fairy-princess makes it out to be in Sally Lloyd-Jones’ and Sue Heap’s How to Get a Job by Me the Boss. Never have I read a how-to manual with such pazazz. It is not only a step-by-step guide to picking the right job (you cannot be a spy if you “just sit there and everyone can see you”), creating a resume, nailing the interview, and being on your best behaviour through it all; it is also illustrated to full adorable effect, the lovable little brother in particular.

Naturally, the “If you are a Teacher” section appealed to me most. According to The Boss, my duties will include making all my students come to “school and behave.” I will need to get me some teacher shoes, a big red pencil, and invisible eyes in the back of my head. As a teacher, I can also announce statements like, “Listen up! I’m the teacher! And I know EVERYTHING!” And I will give out “hard homework” and bathroom procedures (“Toilet paper goes IN the toilet!”). So much for me to look forward to.
