About
What if your next career opportunity comes not from sending another résumé, but from the impression you leave on someone?
In Be a Helper, Not a Hindrance, Anthony Ng shares practical lessons about building trust, creating opportunities and developing a reputation as someone others genuinely want to work with.
Drawing on his experience as a university student in Calgary, Canada, Anthony recounts how volunteering at a daycare centre eventually led to paid employment. By demonstrating enthusiasm, reliability and initiative, he created an opportunity before a formal job vacancy was offered to him.
The book explores the difference between being helpful and becoming a hindrance, why reputation matters alongside qualifications, and how everyday behaviour can open doors.
Readers will discover seven habits of a dependable workplace helper, practical ways to demonstrate their abilities, the importance of maintaining healthy boundaries and a 30-day challenge to put these lessons into action.
Ideal for students, jobseekers, volunteers, employees and anyone seeking to build meaningful professional relationships.
Don't just tell people what you can do. Give them a reason to remember what you have done.
