Howard Nestler releases new survey findings on the job search expectations of upper level executives

HOWARD NESTLER

CEO of Executive Options, released the findings of a survey dealing with the job search expectations of upper level executives today.

Howard Nestler:“What we discovered is that the overwhelming majority are looking for an enhancement of their compensation packages. Most want to move up the corporate ladder in order to have greater authority and a substantial number want to take their skills into another sector in search of a new challenge”. Howard Nestler makes the point that these are not the resolutions that a conventional job search produces. “When a recruiter or head hunter is tasked with finding a national sales manager, for example, he or she will submit people who were national sales managers in their last engagement,” Howard Nestler observed. “They do not take a local sales manager and move him up the ladder as part of the submission process.” -Howard Nestler

Howard Nestler:”This is one of the reasons an upper level executive undertaking a conventional job search today may, in fact, be entering into a de facto retirement.”

Indeed, the rule of thumb for a conventional job search under prevailing marketplace conditions is that one month of job search time is required for every ten thousand dollars of desired income.

As Howard Nestler said: “A year and a half to two years is too long to wait for the next engagement when we’re talking of men and women who aren’t just looking for a job, but are seeking a challenge.”
