| Rites of Passage by John Lucht | |
| I am Executive Vice President-Sourcing of a listed U.S. company. Rites of Passage by John Lucht has helped me more than I can express in words when I had to look for a new position. The book was easy to read, very succinct and provided all the information I needed to prepare a strong resume and letter. Following the advice in the book, I sent my resume to companies I wanted to work for and was able to get a new position within a few weeks in my preferred location, Hong Kong. I owe Rites of Passage my new career! Any Executive looking for a new position could not do any better than use the guidance and help Rites of Passage provides. It is an invaluable tool and one that I will treasure always, because it helped me have a great new career. Recently, I have purchased the book for a couple friends who have been helped by Lucht's coverage of Internet job-hunting for executives, a real problem if you're stranded abroad.

| Essentials of Making More Money | |
| I encountered John's first Rites of Passage book back in the early 90's when I was ambitiously trying to find a job at double my then salary of $50k. Using John's advice and learning from his insights, I was not only able to achieve my goal in a very short time, but I have been able to continue on my journey, using his philosophy to my advantage over and over again. John taught me how to focus on achievements and results when talking about my past instead of times and places. He confirmed for me the importance of living up to your promises. He modeled for me the ability to write succinctly. And he impressed me when he thoroughly reviewed the new resources available to executives and made sure that people could get the most benefit out of technology on their journey. No career changing executive should be without this book. No executive should be without this book - because at some time or other, voluntarily or not, everyone has to change jobs. And this book is not a short term bullet solution - it's a philosophy of how to move oneself up the ladder constantly while sticking to your principles. | |
| Great insights and great advice | |
| I bought this book based upon the recommendations I read in one of the executive recruiting sites. The book is not only a good read, but it is full in great information for both the employed and unemployed professionals everywhere. John Lucht does a great job of explaining a great deal of recruiting behavior in a simple, easy to comprehend manner. Reading this book should help you wherever you are in your career. Good luck! |
