The Only Fields That Matter ~ A Narrative from the Great Recession
The Only Fields That Matter is my first book, self-published in October 2014. Heading to 2024, it now appears my workplace projections of bio-discrimination are occurring. I expose bio-profiling in the place we should least expect: the hiring process. My story, shared by millions of working people, comes straight out of my daily journal while job searching in Nashville, Tennessee. The 2008-2012 Great Recession will re-align the labor market. Ideological, cultural, behavioral assessments and the brain are all the rage.
The Only Fields reads like a movie as I take the reader into a hyper-aggressive career search, family issues, hours and hours of working a kid baseball player, financial challenges, American value changes, technologies that are changing the workplace. My urgent plea to educators and parents: prepare students for the software-selected workforce.
Since the 2008 Recession, securing employment requires facing invasive predictive software to assess our thoughts, IQ, social media participation, emotional intelligence, innovative traits, new behavioral psychometrics and deep background search from endless data sources.
Beyond the dull drone of recessionary statistics, in places without paths nor human voices, a future was beginning to unfold: in the only fields that matter.
