"I gave Dr. Mulligan his first outplacement assignment in 1982 when I was a Vice President of Human Resources at Tenneco Automotive. It was the President of our company and Mike did an outstanding job helping him find another position. While in the search business the past 20 plus years, I have always referred executives with outplacement packages to him. This book contains everything an executive needs to know to move from company to company and step up as a leader."
Art Davidson - Retained Executive Recruiter, TSI
"This book not only helps executives deal with stress during the job search, but helps them with career direction, finding a new position, integrating themselves in the new company and excelling as a leader. Dr. Mulligan's knowledge, experience and personality was why I asked him to work with the executives leaving our company. I always felt he was the best in the career consulting field."
