Hi, I'm Nick Corcodilos, creator and author of Ask The Headhunter. I'd like to show you what Ask The Headhunter is and how you can use it to engage your audience.
  
  

HISTORY
I started headhunting in Silicon Valley in 1979 and wrote the first edition of Ask The Headhunter: Reinventing the interview to win the job in 1995 to teach job hunters and employers how to win and fill jobs like a headhunter. I was keenly aware that conventional career advice was worse than wrong -- it was senseless. So I put myself on the line -- online -- with a discussion board where I offered readers free one-on-one advice about job hunting and hiring, and I promised to answer every question posted.

I've personally written responses to over 18,000 questions on the ATH board. The board quickly developed into the Ask The Headhunter web site, filled with articles and tips about job hunting from the headhunter's perspective. Soon, other publishers were licensing ATH features, and today publishing is a significant part of my headhunting and consulting business, North Bridge Group, Inc. With the book available in four languages, I hear from readers daily -- from the U.S., Australia, India, China, Europe, the Caribbean, South America, and around the world.

EXPERIENCE
I can regale you with my headhunting and business credentials, but I'm sure what you want to know is whether your audience will read my stuff and whether I can deliver finished, ready-to-run columns reliably.
