Howard Nestler of Executive Options, who has worked for twenty-six years marketing premium executives, has discovered the key to obtaining placement in the current job market. “I’ve always understood the value of first impressions; there has to be clarity and there has to be something in the presentation that makes a corporation want to see the executive now, not a week or month from now,” Howard Nestler explains. “Most presentations lack the ability to incite such a reaction.”Howard Nestler finds that a resume cannot function to the advantage of a premium executive for a number of reasons. For instance, a resume tends to devalue a superior executive by making him or her look like everyone else. “It is absolutely the worst thing a man or woman can do,” says Howard Nestler. “An executive must do everything possible to stand out from the crowd and impress upon a potential employer his or her signature skills.”

Whether one is an executive involved in a job search or an employer seeking out talent, it would be difficult to view the current job search market without noting that things have changed and what used to get results consistently is no longer a sure thing. “In part, this is due to recent trends towards consolidating, downsizing and out-sourcing. But,” Howard Nestler goes on to say, “amid these dynamics is an overriding factor that has consequences for all concerned; the Baby Boomers. Here is a significant portion of the population that, in our parents’ era, would be retiring or, at least, contemplating retirement. I don’t think it comes as a surprise to anyone that the Baby Boomers are more concerned with prolonging their careers than they are with saying goodbye. Thus, we witness a job market that is glutted with talent.”
“Executives must take the same strategic approach to obtaining their next job as they do in increasing market share for their corporation’s products. It is the key to getting placement in a job that will be rewarding and fulfilling.”
