 A fabulous career aid! Unfortunately few people know it. March 15, 2001

I'm a career counselor and an outplacement consultant. At the executive level, Lucht's Rites of Passage (use the 2001 edition which covers the Internet) and its companion, The Executive Job-Changing Workbook, are the only two tools I insist my clients use. The Workbook helps them crystalize what to say in their resume and in interviews. It also shows them how to soft-pedal their deficiencies. I find that using both books together helps my counseling tremendously. Incidentally, the Workbook splits into two books, both with a plain white cover, so an employer won't accidentally see the candidate is using a commercial resource, when he/she opens his/her attache to pull out a resume. Clever! People carry the second half to interviews and fill in its "debriefer" forms with everything they find out from each person in round-one of interviews. They do this as soon as they get out of the employer's parking lot . This information, captured while it's fresh in mind, is reviewed to prepare for second-round interviews. Employers always tell you everything they hope for in a perfect candidate. If you parrot that back in your second-round interview, you'll defeat everyone who doesn't. This Workbook is an amazing help to the executive-level job-seeker. It's a "secret weapon" I don't think most people know about. I always insist they use it if they're going to work with me.

For great advice on what to expect when you work with a executive recuiter read chapters 7-10. Its worth the price of the book alone. Out of work high-level executives and those who want to make a solid change in their career need to read this book in order to sound smart and learn what to expect from good and bad headhunters.

Absolutely a must have, John helps you understand the recruiter's "agenda". I continue to use it as a reference tool and have emphatically recommended it to others searching for a new career.
You can't simply read the book, you have to use this workbook. July 23, 2005

I read the book and loved it. When I bought the work book, my first thought was that this was just some kind of book '0 forms. Much like what you would find in a stationary store or at an office supply store. But I was wrong. This book is really two books. The work book is designed to be cut into two different books. One is a record book that enables you to track your entire job hunting campaign. The other book, and in my opinion, the most important, enables you to create an absolutely magnificant resume. If you loved the book, then this work book is an absolute must.
However, I must caution you that the workbook is, indeed, a lot of work. And so to really use the book, you must use the workbook. And to use the workbook, you need to exert effort. The rewards are great. This is a dynimite combination. He is really something else. I recommend this book very highly.
Great companion to "Rites of Passage" November 3, 2005

It makes no sense to purchase this workbook without "Rites of Passage", the companion job search book by John Lucht. If you purchase this workbook on its own to try and save money, you'll find youself going back to order Rites of Passage anyway.
This workbook is extremely useful at helping you put structure around following the advice dispensed in "Rites". It forces you to put down your thoughts using a logical and organized approach. This leads you to constructing a far superior resume and cover letter than you would have done otherwise.
A very valuable tool for someone seeking a new job in the $100K+ range.
