Booklist Review

In the fall of 1988 Lester Korn resigned his post as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations to return to Korn-Ferry International, the firm that he cofounded in 1969 and that eventually became the largest executive-recruiting firm in the world. Korn's experience in locating talent for and placing executives in a host of major firms makes it clear that he knows what corporation management is looking for in its higher- level executives. Special chapters are devoted to women, job changers, and those who face barriers of one kind or another in their current positions. Korn tells how to deal with executive recruiters-- headhunters-- and how to ask for and evaluate salary offers. His book is aimed at upper-level management and those looking for the fast track to those summits. Index. DAR.
