Summary: Interesting book, not appropriate for executives
Comment: While the content in this book is fine and reasonable, I found most of it simplistic and not applicable for people looking for executive jobs. It includes helpful hints like "you'll need to set up a home office for your job search," "make sure your kids answer the phone in a professional manner," and "don't stop paying your bills--it will mess up your credit." There are stories of people who changed professions mid-career, with examples being a building contractor who became a doctor; a banker who became a website developer and a woodworker who became a biomedical engineer.
Fascinating reading, but what does this have to do with executive job searching? Not much.

Summary: Answers to Executives' Job Search Questions
Comment: This is the ideal book for the executive who has been downsized, or fears downsizing, because of today's troubled economy. For those recently downsized, it gives complete advice on getting your "house" in order, and then goes on to give invaluable advice on organizing a job search, from reviewing your skills and strengths, to creating an attack plan, to marketing yourself, interviewing, and negotiating. A variety of sidebars from both successful job seekers and experts in executive career placement nationwide give field-tested tips and tricks that really helped other seekers get ahead. A variety of self-assessment instruments helps readers examine their own behaviors and workways to improve their chances of finding and thriving on a new job.
