Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2009
I see how this book can be useful to those who are new to the field. However, it does contain a lot of information that can be found on plenty of search engines on line. You can easily find the same knowledge, tips, and guides without having to fish through the pages of this book. I reccomend the following site [...]

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book on executive job search
Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2009
This guide is really one of the best you will find on the executive job search subject. It is a very straight forward guide.
I found all the tips and exercises in the book very useful. It helped me find my dream job, I put everything I've learned to use at a website called ExecCrossing [...] which was great help on my search because it has jobs only from employer websites, and far more jobs than I've found on other job boards.

5.0 out of 5 stars Executive Job Search Handbook by Orrin Wood
Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2004
Having experienced firsthand the sage advice of Orrin Wood in my own transition from corporate America to business entrepreneur, I applaud the publication of his second book. Recognizing how the landscape for the executive job hunt has changed, Mr. Wood provides important insights into the varied campaigns the successful candidate should undertake in this search. From thinking out of the box in developing your network of contacts, to understanding the power and the limitations of the internet, to setting critical hurdles for yourself - this book will challenge you to discipline and challenge yourself in this journey. This is the seasoned professional's "no holes barred" handbook for negotiating the landscape for the "next chapter". There are immediate and life lessons to be learned from this important book.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's got everything
Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2003
This book has got it all. It's your portable outplacement service!!! If you've been affected by this economy (& who hasn't been) this is what you need to plan and make your next move.
There are meaningful examples and exercises to help you focus and direct your energy and efforts to maximize your effectiveness.
Orrin has organized his masterpiece in an easy to navigate manner to help you jump to the area that you want to focus on right now, without having to wade through stories and anecdotes.
This is the one book you need to buy to land your next job!!!
