Focus on the work wins the job!
Date: April 12, 2001

I have been looking for a job for two years. I graduated summa cum laude with an engineering degree and have an MBA from an excellent university, as well as 10 years of experience, but I could not find a job to save my life. I knew something was wrong but I had no ideal what.

After reading Ask The Headhunter I knew exactly what the problem was. After reading the book I sent an email to the hiring manager for a job that I had already been rejected for. This time I used some of the principles in the book. He was so impressed he agreed to see me again. The meeting went so well that he personally took me to meet the VP of the division. The next day I had lunch with the COO.

I couldn't believe how comfortable I was at the interviews once I changed the focus to the work, like your book suggested. I had an offer the next day.

I wish I had found this book two years ago.

Thanks,

R.T. Ball
