Find your next job like a headhunter does! I’m a headhunter of 15-years. Back during the recession, every interview counted. You couldn’t afford to make a mistake when you had a shot at one of the very few jobs available.
To help the candidates I was representing, I created a manual to guide them in their job search. Over time, the manual grew. My candidates were winning the job 7 out of 10 times over other candidates going after the same jobs on their own or from other recruiters.
And that is how Headhunter Hiring Secrets was born (version 2.0 released in 2016).
Released as a self-published book in January 2010, it has now (as of Feb. 2017) reached 54,631 people.
Today, despite improvements in the economy and job market, competition for new jobs, particularly the really good jobs, is still fierce and very challenging. And another factor to consider is this - according to LinkedIn (2017 survey), 52% of currently employed men and women state they are interested in exploring new career opportunities. That's as many as 73 million people who are now (or soon will be) competing for a finite number of available jobs.
Therefore, those who are the best prepared to effectively compete in today’s still dynamic job market will have the best chance to be hired for one of these new jobs.
Here are some highlights:
- Avoid the “shadows on the wall” syndrome (saying or doing something during an interview that makes the hiring manager uneasy and even afraid about your candidacy).
- ”Lead the Witness,” i.e., the hiring manager, to take the interview in the direction you desire.
- Ask questions Superstars ask during a job interview.
- Answer tricky “Gotcha!” questions, e.g., “Tell me about yourself.” “How do you get along with your current boss?” “Why should I hire you?”
- Close the interview on a high note, making sure you not only stand out from the competition, but also that you stay in the game!
Also included are excellent practical examples of:
- Job-winning resumes.
- Targeted, effective cover letters.
- A wide variety of telephone scripts that actually work.
- Direct mail letters to use in campaigns.
- Emails that will get you job interviews and sell (and re-sell) your candidacy.
Here’s to winning the job!

Store description
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
