"Headhunter" Hiring Secrets: The Rules of the Hiring Game Have Changed . . . Forever!

This job-hunting guide explains how candidates can prepare well before they start applying and then stand out once they reach employers.

The book also offers advice on phoning employers, getting a résumé noticed quickly, and treating the hiring process as a contest that can be won with the right approach. This updated edition is intended for anyone who wants to move up in their career but is unsure how to start.
