After several meetings, there was no question in the Chairman's mindâ"he wanted this man to be his President. And the candidate was extremely interested in the post. But they were $25,000 apart. After hours of negotiating, the executive still wanted more money. âI'll arm wrestle you for it,â suggested the host. âYou're on,â responded the executive. They rolled up their sleeves, sat down and clasped hands over a $5,000 glass coffee table. Moments into what seemed an equal match, the Chairman said, âIf the money means that much to you, it's yours.â
If you already know a headhunter, you know the unusual extremes some firms will go to get the right person for the jobâ"and how a savvy candidate can pull the right strings to edge out the competition. HOW TO GET A HEADHUNTER TO CALL is the next best thing to having a friend in the executive recruitment business. Howard S. Freedman, a vice-president of Korn/Ferry International, the largest executive search firm in the world, tells you how to make yourself known and sought after by top headhunters. You'll find out how to press a headhunter's âhot buttons.â And you'll discover how to keep recruiters working for youâ"even if you decide not to take the job you're offered.
Full of colorful anecdotes and practical advice, HOW TO GET A HEADHUNTER TO CALL shatters hundreds of job-hunting myths that may have kept you form a better, higher paying position. Better yet, you'll find how to harness the incredible power of this billion-dollar-a-year industry and put it to work for you on your next job search. It's easier than you think to get a headhunter to cut through months of job search âleg work,â open the right doors for your career and whisper the âright' information into your ear before your first interview.
What do you say when a headhunter calls? Freedman tells you how to handle these first contacts, and why they can make or break your career. But, remember, it's what happens after the first call that counts. Play your cards right, and you've got the jobâ"or at least a âsilent partnerâ in the recruitment business who'll keep an eye out for the right position. Make a tactical or diplomatic error, though, an you're on you own next time. You'll discover how to keep the ball rolling, handle meetings with recruiter and employer, do the necessary follow-upâ"and how to win favor by being a reliable source of candidate and market information.

Martin Luther King, Jr. had hoped to be a Baptist preacher in a Southern city. Instead, by the time he was assassinated in 1968 at the age of 39, he had been awarded the Nobel Prize and had led millions of people in a nonviolent movement that shattered forever the Southern system of segregation of the races. His eloquent, passionate advocacy of civil and human rights, rooted in the techniques of peaceful demonstration pioneered by Mahatma Gandhi, brought a new dimension of dignity to people's lives and a new hope for freedom and the community of man.
Throughtout his brief life, his words communicated his vision, his passion, and his faith, and they demonstrated his figt to inspire others to follow his lead. He asked to be remembered as a âdrum major for justice,â and he is.
This new, handsome volume of selections from Dr. King's speeches and writings, created as a âliving memorialâ to his philosphies and ideas, focuses on severn areas of this concerns: The Community of Man, Racism, Civil Rights, Justice and Freedom, Faith and Religion, Nonviolence, and Peace. The message these workds convey is as inspiring and fundamental to life today as it ever was suring his lifetime. As he said, âHuman progress is neither automatic nor inevitableâ¦This is no time for apathy or complacency. This is a time for vigorous and positive action.â
Coretta Scot King is president of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change in Atlanta, Georgiaâ"the only organization in the world mandated for the purpose of fostering social change throught nonviolence. Always closely involved with her husband's life work, she continues to devote herself to human and civil rights causes, conducting workshops and lecturing extensively all over the world, inspiring others to keep her husband's dream and philosophy alive. She is also the author of My Life with Martin Luther King, Jr.
