The term “unemployed executive” is not an oxymoron - too often the two words do go together. In today’s business climate, rife with corporate buyouts, staff restructuring, slashed budgets, and rapidly changing initiatives, highly placed executives often get caught in the corporate grist mill and find themselves out of a job. Unemployed executives face unique challenges because they are highly skilled specialists with high price tags. The perfect job doesn’t come along very often, so their job searches can be long, emotionally trying, and financially difficult. But those who are resilient, with a solid core of self-confidence, and who follow a few simple rules, emerge from their job search stronger, and better employed.
