Thanks for commenting, Dan.

You’ve made some excellent points. Two more critical steps to add to one’s executive job search toolkit.

Nice article. Good strong recommendations.
Where would two additional items be?
1. gap analysis to bring a job seekers skills to high performance levels by
training and extramural experience.
2 communicate with mentors to bounce ideas off of. Too often senior leaders “get stuck” or “feel they always know what is needed,” when what they need is a sanity check, and correction with perspective..

Thanks for commenting, Frank.

A Google Profile is an important web page to help you build your brand online and search results for your name, and provide more information about your job search candidacy.

I’ve added a link into my post for Google Profiles (sorry I forgot to do it before), leading you to where you can start building your own. Here’s the link again — https://profiles.google.com/

How kind of you to share my article, Bonnie. I hope others will find it helpful in getting a handle on all that goes into planning and managing an executive job search today.

Thanks for commenting!

You covered all of the important bases and there are many of them! Today’s job market requires a comprehensive approach which will include branding yourself, networking and uncover those opportunities. I will be sharing your article. Thanks for putting this together.

Thanks for your lovely comment, Ed.

I’m always surprised that, for so many executives and other job seekers, the new world of job search means using job boards . . . and pretty much only that. Using that solitary strategy is what leads them to say, “There just aren’t any jobs out there”. The people who are doing the real job search work are landing good-fit jobs.

Best,
