Don Asher, author of the popular OVERNIGHT series, tackles one of the hottest topics in business today: the executive r?©sum?©. From V.P. on up to C.E.O., this book provides the largest compendium of executive r?©sum?©s available to the general public. Whether he's giving hints on getting head-hunted, upgrading your current position, or launching an all-out top-level job hunt, Asher has the tricks of the trade, and the successful executive client base to back it up. Through R?©sum?© Righters, his very successful service, he has helped many, many executive-suite types (from bank presidents to advertising directors, sales leaders to legal eagles) find that elusive dream job. Packed with hints and tricks discreet enough for the executive suite, but offbeat enough to be unusually effective.
