Why you should read Headhunters Confidential

It’s nice to read a book written by the fellow "who wrote the book." Alan R. Schonberg is that guy, the chairman of the world’s largest executive recruiting firm. The insights into job hunting that he provides are well worth the classy sales pitch he offers on behalf of the headhunting profession. You wish he would give more insider headhunter’s information - one senses that he has politely declined to publish all his business secrets. Still, there’s a lot here to ponder. Thus, getAbstract recommends this book to people who want to turn job hunting into a process that can enhance their dignity, salary and job-satisfaction. A show of hands, please.
