He sees the changing ways that corporate America deals with its managers and successful executives deal with their employment. Today, the Internet so profoundly increases the opportunities-and hazards-of aggressive career management that John has torn apart the old Rites and created an entirely new Rites for new times. Vast amounts of new information have been added. Every statement in the prior Rites has been challenged and modified wherever facts have changed or wording could be clearer...making Rites absolutely the leading edge of practical advice to deal with today's exciting career scene. Delightfully unchanged is the sheer joy of reading Rites. John Lucht has a uniquely succinct and witty way of imparting information. Few serious business books are fun to read. This one is. "It will grip you," says The Denver Post. "Lucht is a good communicator...punchy and spare. As 'how to' books go, this one might serve as a model," says Chief Executive. "Noteworthy," says Business Week. So enjoy a "great read" as John Lucht brings you his insider's view of executive career management and job-changing...both traditional and online...from adroit handling of personal contacts, to effective networking, to persuasive letter-and resume-writing, to successful interviewing, to every facet of dealing with recruiters.
