How to
be Headhunted, a new book by John Purkiss
and Barbara Edlmair was recently launched at Foyles
in London . Already well received by the critics,
the book is being hailed as the ultimate insider's
guide to how the job market works
The author's focused
on the practical “hands-on” approach
to job search and why it's important to speak the
head-hunter's language to make sure you're on their
radar for the hot jobs in your sector. The illustrations
truly crystallised this process, including:
- Learning
about the search industry and the prominent
firms within it
- Understanding
the recruitment process to make it work to your
advantage
- Identifying
the search firms which specialise in your sector
or job function
- Preparing
a persuasive cover letter and a ‘head-hunter-friendly
CV'
- Building
long-term relationships with search consultants
(networking!)
