Review: On-line Rites - John Lucht has been a recruiter for 30 years and has been writing executive guides for nearly as long. You need to get this edition as he has thoroughly updated his material to explain rules, procedures, and protocols for job-hunting on the Internet. I was an unemployed executive for nearly a year before landing my current position and Lucht's book is the roadmap for any similar journey. He has insightful sections on resumes, cover letters, severance negotiations, outplacement, networking, references, as well as the better known how-to-guide for dealing with all stripes of recruiters. Don't get hung-up on the title. While Lucht is most familiar with recruiting at the C-level, most of this applies equally well for managers, directors, and experienced professionals. The only criticism I have is that Lucht is focused on job-hunting in strong markets, and needs more analysis of today's humbling markets. He is fairly critical of the typical outplacement service that considers it a success when they place laid-off software executives as owner-operators of ice cream parlors and coffee shops and franchisees of muffler and transmission repair stores. Lucht also thoughtfully debunks a lot of media myths about finding work without a resume or a network. His promotion of direct mail as a marketing tool sounds old-fashioned but it works if you understand that less than 1% of your mail will yield leads, but these are likely leads that would not have been otherwise obtained. Lucht also has built a useful website and avoids the high fees and endless cross-promotions that his competitors favor.
Review: Best job-hunting book there is - This is by far the best job-hunting book available. As a retained executive search consultant, I constantly deal with people who are looking for work, and am dismayed at how poorly most people do so. Lucht's book will change your mindset on job-hunting. He reminds you to use all of the major job-hunting techniques, including networking, direct mail, recruiters, and want ads, and teaches you new techniques for doing each one of these. He also has a chapter on how to be interviewed that is easily worth what you'll pay for the book. I first read the book long before I moved into executive search and was able ti use the techniques described in it to develop a number of job offers. In addition, the book is readable and fun; it's obvious that John really cares, and wants the reader to be successful. Some have complained that this book doesn't pay enough attention to internet job boards. It doesn't, because it shouldn't. Job hunters who spend their days probing the internet to find work get disappointed (less than 10% find work through job boards). I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a new job; anyone who plans his job-hunt without reading this book risks selling themselves short, because they'll be missing too many avenues.
