Are you about to graduate and begin your job
search? Or are you a young professional trying to choose
the right field or looking for that perfect position that
will catapult your career? Figuring out a career and getting a great job has never been
more difficult. On top of that, today’s graduates are
looking for not only good jobs but positions that will help
them launch careers in which they can grow
and prosper. But knowing what to look for and how to
actually land a great job is exceptionally challenging when
you’re trying to get an interview, make enough money, and
position yourself for advancement. Based on an in-depth survey of thousands of graduates and
young professionals, and hundreds of interviews with the
world’s top business and nonprofit leaders—not to mention
James Citrin’s decades of experience as a senior partner at
the premier executive search firm Spencer Stuart—The
Career Playbook offers recent graduates and aspiring
young professionals actionable advice for excelling. From
his practical tips on generating valuable introductions,
nailing interviews, and negotiating compensation to
strategic advice on the arc of a career, the importance of
relationships, how to cultivate a mentor, and knowing when
to change jobs or industries, Citrin provides an invaluable
guide to the most urgent questions that are at the heart of
every person’s career deliberations. Packed with first-person advice from graduates and young
professionals themselves, as well as the perspectives of
seasoned CEOs, entrepreneurs, leaders, and experts, such as
Virgin’s Sir Richard Branson, Facebook’s Sheryl Sandberg,
Third Point Advisors’ Daniel Loeb, author Malcolm Gladwell,
and US Navy SEALs’ Admiral Eric Olson, The Career
Playbook is an essential resource for landing,
launching, and thriving in your career.
