From the Publisher:

Updating the 1980 New York Times bestseller Secrets of a Corporate Headhunter (350,000 hardcover and paperback copies sold), this indispensable book provides a new set of shrewd strategies for surviving and thriving in today's business world.

From Library Journal:

Much has changed in the executive job market since Wareham's Secrets of a Corporate Headhunter (LJ 9/1/80) revealed how executive recruiters judge candidates by probing family history, visiting candidates at home, and critiquing their business lunch performance. Fourteen years later, his focus is on the "tribeless warrior" who has been "downsized" and is now stalking a potential employer rather than being coyly wooed by a recruiter at lunch. Using a breezy anecdotal style, Wareham covers such issues as behaving profitably through the termination process, what employers are seeking in a fellow executive, and dealing with psychological interviews. Other chapters, while interesting, seem peripheral to Wareham's goal of offering "helpful, hard-nosed advice." Readers looking for inside information on or about corporate headhunters will be better served by Wareham's earlier title or John Tarrant's Stalking the Headhunter (LJ 8/86). Not recommended.
