IF YOU WANT TO MAKE THE TEAM, FIRST YOU HAVE TO SURVIVE THE CUT!
These days, as companies across the country are being reshaped by countless mergers, acquisitions, and downsizing, one in every three executives could be forced to look for a new job. What's worse is that most of these soon to be out-of-work professionals, many of them with years of experience, will have no idea what it really takes to get a job in today's tough market. Written by a top corporate consultant who has conducted thousands of executive interviews and reviewed over 30,000 résumés, this is the first book that shows you how to avoid the most common mistakes that turn employers off-and can cost you the job you want.
Surviving the Cut describes the seldom-revealed knockout blows that take job candidates out of the running, through true stories such as:
•Jonathan misreading his market value and turning down a golden opportunity.
• Paul being done in by his own references.
•Harry being eliminated from a top VP position by the CEO's assistant.
You will also meet professionals who survived the cut and stayed in the running, including:
•Bob, who overcame a mediocre interview and landed a coveted VP of sales position with a well-written follow-up letter.
• Barbara, who successfully headed off a bad credit rating that was silently costing her job after job.
Here are tips on making all the right moves and avoiding the wrong ones. From writing an effective résumé and cover letter to preparing for an interview to writing follow-up letters that get results, here are executive job-hunting tactics that will keep you a step ahead of the competition.
