What they're saying about these books:
"Today's job market can be a stressful and
uncertain place. Too often, talent and hard work are not enough to keep
careers on track in the face of economic and market turmoil.
'Replanting' ourselves in new opportunities is both an art and a
science, and Robert Wilson applies 20 years of career management
experience to help today's job seekers succeed."
--U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy,State of Vermont
"For any executive anticipating a career change–or
who is in the midst of a career shift–Executive Job Search Handbook is a
must-have guide. What Richard Bolles' book did for job searchers in the
last century, Bob Wilson's book will do for executive career strategy
today."
--Janice Cantu,VP Human Resources,
Springer-Verlag North America
"The description on the cover of Robert Wilson's
Executive Job Search Handbook is clearly an understatement. This is much
more than a simple how-to book on marketing oneself. 'Job search from
the inside out' is the apt phrase Hinda Miller uses in her Foreword.
After 35 years of reviewing books on career management, I have rarely
come across one that involves the job seeker so deeply at the emotional
level. The understanding of the state of mind of anyone going through
this process is truly exceptional."
----Richard Germann,SVP Quality Management,
Manchester, Inc.
"This is not so much a handbook as it is a GPS
navigator, guiding its readers through some of the toughest territory
they'll ever have to negotiate. And it doesn't miss a turn."
--David B. Opton,Founder & CEO,
ExecuNet
"Career transition is a difficult, scary,
high-stakes game. This book will not only help you make better
decisions, but will make your journey much more rewarding, successful,
and enjoyable than traveling solo. The knowledge you'll gain here is
unparalleled in its scope and actionability . . . like hiring a
top-flight career coach without spending thousands of dollars. Essential
reading–whether you're actively looking for your next job, or your
crystal ball sees another round of downsizing just ahead."
--Gary Alpert,CEO,
Wetfeet, Inc.
"Here's a must-read before you leave–or even think
about leaving–your current position, regardless of how comfortable you
are or how high up on the food chain. Everything you need to know to
cope with change in this unpredictable job market can be found on these
pages, including dozens of interactive exercises that personalize the
experience for you. After reading Bob Wilson's book, I sleep better at
night."
--Michael Ross,Executive Publishing and Marketing Consultant
"The continuing stream of corporate acquisitions
creates an extended opportunity for executives and senior management.
The Executive Job Search Handbook provides the strategies for
determining–and then locking in–'what comes next' in one's career. It
also brings structure to the search–which means increased success for
the managers and leaders who use it."
