Mr. Greer’s breakdown of the “Seven Key Career Questions” should be the foundation for anyone hunting for a job. Whether you are just starting a career, or looking for the next step to take, Mr. Greer’s book provides readers with the insider’s guide to everything you need to know.

5 Stars The most effective Management Job Search book I’ve read
First off, this guy knows what he is talking about. This isn’t some general job hunting advice book. Greer uses his experience in management recruiting and gives an inside track on how to get a high paying position in the absolute quickest time. The information in this book covers in depth nearly all aspects of the management/sales seekers employment process and provides direct and to-the-point strategies that will get your resume read by the decision makers.

The major thesis is that the job search is a process, and while there are many things you can’t control, you can control your process and execute on your strategy to maximize your probability for a positive outcome, and more importantly, minimize wasted effort and costly time. This is a straight forward, to the point, no holds barred examination of the best and most practical process to find and get a job as quickly as possible.

T. Greer has done an excellent job laying out the blueprint for an effective search that includes everything from who should write your resume, to interviewing, to what and what not to say and do when effecting a transition from your current job.

I was employed in three months in a great job. I highly recommend taking the time to get real about your job search.

This is a wonderful read with tremendous amounts of hardcore advice that we should all take to heart. Mr. Greer gives you the unabated version of what most successful recruiters look for in a candidate. I keep a copy of this in my home office and I reference it often.

5 Stars Worked for me!
This guy is a straight-shooter. He tells it like it is, and those who take heed WILL get results. I love that this book is filled with real-life examples. I had already paid http://www.RiseSmart.com to professionally write my resume and help me track down six-figure jobs. Then, when I added Thad Greer’s advice to my game plan, I landed my first executive job within about three months.
