This McGraw-Hill book, In Search of the Perfect Job, is timely and current. According to a recent Robertson Lowstuter survey of 1900 executives and executive recruiters, it was discovered that 80% of all employed executives were either actively searching for a new opportunity or they were receptive to calls to discuss attractive external opportunities.
The turmoil and churn in the executive ranks in America and abroad is constant and increasing. Career longevity for executives is a startling three years or less. As such, executives have to become entrepreneurial – operating as CEOs of their own careers. As a result of voluntary or involuntary separation, executives are back on the active campaign trail. What is driving this executive turnover? Less tolerant Boards of Directors, changes in top leadership, widespread outsourcing, new global competition, mergers, acquisitions, strategic alliances, downsizings, cost reductions, and Sarbanes-Oxley pressures.
Unwittingly, companies have communicated that executives need to take charge of their own careers and seek advancement and job security inside and outside of their current employers. Executives have now realized that lifelong positions are pure fiction. Job change is a key requirement for every successful executive.
Annual career check-ups help executives read their vital signs. Proactively managing their careers is critical. Assessing their capabilities in light of their contributions, organizational support, advancement, political agility, and compensation are all important considerations. Sitting in a job too long is similar to ignoring the signs of high cholesterol; it’s a ticking time-bomb. Indeed, long-service executives are often viewed with great skepticism as those who are playing it safe in this era of relentless change and risk-taking.
“Upon my MBA graduation from USC, I read my father’s book with a sense of urgency. Network Your Way to Your Next Job—Fast! helped me open up many more possibilities in a comfortable and strategic way. I began to enjoy the process of marketing myself and gained a lot of confidence along the way.”
Nathan Lowstuter, Global Sourcing, Honeywell
“I walked differently after reading Network Your Way to Your Next Job—Fast! It transforms how you operate rather than just giving you ideas to follow.”
