Forget luck. Forget what "human resources
experts" have taught you. It's all bureaucratic bunk. No one wins (or
fills) a job by following "the steps" dictated by America’s defunct
Employment System. Rather, they succeed by beating the System: by knowing the best way to
handle a few make-or-break situations, thereby setting themselves above their competition.
It's time to throw away your resume or your job
description and Ask The Headhunter. Nick Corcodilos, author of
Ask The Headhunter: Reinventing The Interview to Win The
Job is a headhunter and management consultant and he's here to help you.
Since 1995, Nick Corcodilos has been here,
online, revealing the fallacies that conspire to keep talented workers and good employers
apart — and openly sharing the headhunter’s sound, profitable methods for
getting them together.
Start by reading the articles below to learn the basics
of The Headhunter's approach, then cruise through Nick's extensive posts in the Ask The
Headhunter message folder and hit him up with your own
questions.

A message from Nick
Since starting Ask The Headhunter in 1995, I have answered over 15,000 questions
about job hunting and hiring -- one at a time, in writing, on the Ask The Headhunter discussion board. ATH has grown into a
vibrant dialogue with thousands of people who recognize that America's Employment System is broken. They want an edge when job
hunting -- just as managers want an edge when hiring.
Ask The Headhunter isn't about resumes, interviews or job postings -- and it
isn't about doing tricks to get jobs. It's about job hunters and employers rolling up their sleeves and demonstrating to one
another that there's value in working together.
Each week, in a special publication called (what else?) the Ask The
Headhunter Newsletter, I will share perspectives, methods, and tips to help you be your own headhunter. We'll tackle the
most daunting problems faced by both job hunters and hiring managers, and I'll do my best to address your questions head-on.
Newsletter subscribers can submit their questions to a special e-mail address that comes direct to me. Each week, I personally
select the best ones and I answer them in the newsletter.

Thanks for joining us on Ask The Headhunter!
