Book Review: The Executive Rules
In an effort to continually provide you with the best in career advice, I have occasionally shared the insights of certain experts in the field. Previously I’ve recommended The 8 Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferris and Corporate Confidential by Cynthia Shapiro, both excellent books. Today, I’ll add another volume to your career development library; The Executive Rules! A Complete Guide to Landing an Executive Job, by Thad Greer.
Thad Greer is the managing partner of Executive Management Search Inc. and while his book is geared towards executives, I’d recommend it to any professional looking to advance their career. From cover to cover The Executive Rules provides an insightful look at the hiring process, including what hiring managers don’t want you to know. From the resume to search firms, to internet job boards, to social networking, The Executive Rules provides real world ‘how to’ advice and examples of what to do and not to do. The result is an easy-to-follow guide to jump start any job search. And with the ever competitive job market, The Executive Rules is the right book at the right time.
As this site has grown, I’ve attempted to provide good baseline of knowledge when it comes to career development. Mr Greer provides not only the foundation, but builds a nice house upon it. The Executive Rules is exactly the type of book I would write, thanks to him, now I don’t have to.
Until next time…
