by Michaela McGuire (9780522855890)

Witty and self-deprecating, this memoir follows Michaela McGuire as she struggles through a series of odd jobs in search of a career. From overseeing lap dances in a strip club and working in the high rollers' room at a casino to selling renewable energy door to door and helping to organize a senior partner's stamp collection at a prestigious law firm, Michaela shares remarkable stories associated with her brief and colorful resume. A unique take on a universal experience, this account also documents her employment with a Member of Parliament's 2007 election campaign--a job that included advising a Liberal Member of Parliament to campaign for his seat rather than sit for a haircut. Based on a blog, this record is a personal look into the life of a young professional.
