Competition is the motivator for corporate executives and professionals; it fuels their working lives. They compete in the service of their companies against other companies,
and they compete for their jobs against the people who work beside them. The entrepreneurial drive to achieve ultimately separates winners from losers. Personal and professional achievements are short-lived,
forever spurring the clamor for more self-motivation, more energy, and more creativity to excel. Success in work is gained through learning life's sometimes painful lessons of trial and error. Larry Dillon,
a senior executive recruiter, has developed a highly workable approach to deliver everything you need to know to advance your career.
The sooner you understand how the system works, the quicker you can put the system to your advantage. For 25 years, Dillon has recruited numerous successful executives and to date, has
never had a placed candidate fail in a position due to his ability to assess and match talent to positions. His career building wisdom fills this book, taking you deep inside the recruiting profession to
understand the meaning behind the questions and the answers that can put you behind the desk.
This book explains the two common approaches to career searches: the shotgun approach of chasing everything, and the targeted approach to defining and pursuing the right opportunities for
you. Both might work, but the one has a significantly higher success rate.
