The Voice of Experience
I recently reconnected with the author, an executive recruiter who placed me in my most recent executive position back in the year 2000. Alan had made a lasting impression on me, so it was natural to contact him now as I started my new career search. After all, I have never been better coached and prepared by an executive recruiter to win a desired opportunity. So when Alan let me know that he had written a book, I ran right out and picked up a copy. It was an excellent refresher of the extraordinary one-on-one personal coaching I had received in the past from Mr. Neirenberg. I highly recommend this book to everyone seeking a career move. You, too, can benefit from the advice of this consummate professional.
