5.0 out of 5 stars If You Want A Job - Get This Book!, February 20, 2009
If you looking for a job and have heard that you are overqualified, under qualified, or that you don't have enough experience - then you will want to get this book. Thad eloquently explains what's going on inside of hiring manager's heads and how to find a job based on your qualifications. To learn more, read the sections called "What Do You Bring to the Table" and "Why Your Resume Is Holding You Back" to learn about how to present yourself in a way that will grab hiring manager's attention. You will not regret it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you should know about landing a job, May 14, 2008
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. Particularly important is his emphasis on the details, such as making sure your resume is readable and professional. Filled with anecdotes, examples, and invaluable information, "The Executive Rules" is a must-have for anyone looking for a job. It would certainly make a great gift for any recent grad.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most effective Management Job Search book I've read, May 14, 2008
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.
