Nothing Will Work If You Are Not Willing To

In this contemporary world, we often fall into one of three job cultures: You either do as you are told, you are in the pursuit of self-employment, or you are not ＂needed＂ anymore due to technological advancements in the workplace. Millions of employment opportunities have been eliminated by mechanization, and many trade skill training initiatives have been diminished in favor of academia. Yet, the distinguishing factor between academics and training is now often overlooked and ignored, but no more. Nothing Will Work If You’re Not Willing To by Melvin C. Pohlkotte introduces a nine-book series addressing the ＂workplace task skill-gap plight＂ of the unemployed and underemployed. Academia’s reliance on memorization versus hands-on, structured, and progressive efficiency-based workplace training has left many feeling stuck in their careers or without a firm foundation to stand on. However, Pohlkotte asserts that it is not the individual skill gap that causes the lack of opportunity as much as the absence of human performance and task skill training. In this book, he focuses on the trade, job, and task-specific data; foundational and fundamental to any manufacturing workplace. Anchored to the US Department of Labor’s O*Net standards, which are time-proven, evidence-based, and published for more than 13,000 specific job titles. Pohlkotte has crafted a training progression that has been perfected over his sixty-eight-year career, and now he offers it to you. The most prevalent pre-requisite for a job candidate today is the willingness to invest in time, effort, and attitudinal transformation regarding self-worth, self-will, and pride in personal performance, regardless of what others are doing. It’s time to focus on attitude, self-discipline, and a personal willingness to sacrifice now for your future.
