(PRWEB) September 12, 2007 — Author and Executive
Recruiter Thad Greer announces the release of his new book, “The Executive
Rules: A Complete Guide to Landing an Executive Job™.”
The comprehensive, easy-to-read book arrives
at a time when landing a high-paying executive position is as hard as it has
ever been.
“I’m convinced that most people do not have
a clue as to how to go about finding the job that’s right for them,” Greer said.
“The online job boards have instilled what I refer to as a ‘false sense of
accomplishment’ in today’s job seeker: they think that by applying to one job
after another on sites like Monster or CareerBuilder they are somehow
accelerating their job search. The Internet boards have made applying to jobs
so easy that the number of applicants for any given executive-level position is
basically off the charts these days,” said Greer, who is also the managing
partner of a nationwide search firm. “Candidates think they are being
proactive, but they’re not doing anything different than the millions of other
job seekers sitting at their computers clicking away.
The modern job search strategy is to blanket
anybody and everybody that has an email address with your resume: a ‘if I throw
enough stuff up against the wall something is bound to stick’ mentality,” Greer
said. “But all this approach does is muddy the waters. Not only has this made
it more difficult for companies to find the best candidates for their open positions
and but it’s made it tougher for good candidates to stand out. Job seekers need
guidance on how to differentiate themselves from their competition, which was
my primary motivation for writing this book. Not only do they need know how to
reach out to and put their resume in front of the right person, but then what
to do and say once that person shows an interest in them. I wanted to reveal
everything you need to know to land a great job in as little time as possible.
Whether your motivation is to find a new job immediately or you need long-term
career guidance, this book can be a great resource.”
In “The Executive Rules,” Greer draws upon
his vast recruiting experience to reveal how executive job seekers can best
identify and effectively market themselves to the key individuals within
companies to land the job that’s best suited for their skill sets and
experience. The book covers such important topics as: The Seven Key Career
Questions Everyone; Why Your Resume May Be Holding You Back; How to Blog Your
Way to a New Job; How Social Networking Can Make or Kill a Career; The Truth
About Headhunters and Search Firms; Why Going Small Can Pay Off Big; Why Only
2% of Job Seekers Find Work Using Job Boards; 3 Steps to Nailing the Interview;
Career Survival - When to Stick It Out and When to Move On, and much more.
Greer’s book explains to readers what most
companies are looking for when they hire for executive positions and also
provides them with the necessary knowledge, strategy and motivation to go out
and forge the career path that is best for them.
