Unauthorized biographies could be fun. I'm surprised this list doesn't include "The Missionary Position" by Christopher Hitchens

One of mine was effectively that a policy was defined to be a certain way, but you had to recognize that there was some wiggle room that would allow you to still serve a patron and follow the rules. Surprisingly, other applicants wrote they would turn a patron away.

The other questions were effectively time management/task prioritization questions in disguise.

Knock 'em Dead Job Interview (https://www.amazon.com/Knock-Dead-Job-Interview-Interviews/dp/1440536791/) by Martin Yate really helped me. I've had to interview for multiple positions every time I've advanced within the organization.

Read [The First 90 Days] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/1422188612/) by Watkins.

When I got my first branch manager job, I did sit and chat with every staff member (about 20 people) to get to know them.

I also asked if there was one thing they would change about the branch. I got a few good ideas that made sense and weren't hard to implement. I bought a $15 lamp for a staff area and it was if I had changed the world -- sometimes it doesn't take much to make a difference to the everyday.

It's a book. The Outsiders. You'll relate to it.

Yup. Also:
