Product Description
Unrevised since 1993, this #1 bestseller in its field is totally rewritten for a new era. The Internet is now a central theme!Every year since it first appeared in 1988, John Lucht's Rites of Passage at $100,000+ has been America's bestselling executive career guide. With the mushrooming importance of the Internet, Lucht rips apart his revered classic to bring it startlingly into the twenty-first century! Lucht's New Thinking merges his adroit handling of top executive recruiters (selected and honored in Rites for the past decade) with the incredible communicating power of the Internet. Add to the mix a brand-new $350,000 Internet site, RiteSite.com, which Lucht will open on the pub date of Rites to help readers use the principles in Rites, and you have a unique publishing event that befits a new technology and a new millennium. The last rewrite and relaunch of Rites in '93 attracted media attention and was a major sales success. Expect far more excitement and even bigger sales this time!

very very thorough with info not found anywhere else!

Comment:
Great book. Very helpful insight into Recruiting industry that, in hindsight seems like common sense, but really is not. I have dealt with many from the hiring perspective, and hadn't thought much about it. It's a must read before you apply for anything online or with anyone you do not know. A bit lengthy, but I think well worth it and you can combine your common sense and experience with this info.
I also bought the workbook and joined the online site, which I also highly recommend (really the website - [...] most of all).

Comment:
This book is an absolute MUST for the executive job seeker. Howevever, its a mistake to purchase this when you decide to start looking for a job. Only a part of it is relevant in that situation. Instead, buy the book now and apply John's great advice for building your brand and repuatation in your industry and with recruiters before you start job searching. His suggestions will make that process very meaningful and provide you with a great network of opportunities when you're ready or forced to find a new opportunity.

Useful but outdated

Comment:
I found many useful items and information in this book but it is in need of an update. There are many helpful hints for how to select and deal with recruiters. The tone and theme of this book is slanted to the retained search recruiter (as the author is one). I also believe that the emphasis on "mass mailing" techniques is overstated and that more material needs to be developed for today's internet (no reference to "LinkedIn" networking or "The Ladders"). Overall I think this book is useful from a strategic/background perspective but not as much so tactically.

If you are a corporate executive, or if you want to be one, then you should purchase this book.

Comment:
This week, I passed 300 connections on LinkedIn. Shortly thereafter, I received multiple unsolicited contacts from intellectual property recruiters. (I founded Clock Tower Law Group, which specializes in patent law and trademark law.) This is one of the downsides of LinkedIn: recruiter spam.
I have nothing against recruiters. In fact, a good retainer recruiter is worth his/her weight in gold. But a recruiter who works on contingency is a dime a dozen.
If you are a corporate executive, or if you want to be one, then you should purchase the book "Rites of Passage at $100,000 to $1 Million+: Your Insider's Lifetime Guide to Executive Job-Changing and Faster Career Progress in the 21st Century" by John Lucht. "Rites of Passage" explains how the recruiting business works and why the difference between retainer recruiters and contingency recruiters matters.
And no, I'm not looking for a job, but thanks for asking.
