"Jaffe, of eponymous recruiting powerhouse Wyatt & Jaffe, has spent 30 years observing - and shaping - executive careers, and his book is evidence that even tumultuous times can be funny. At just shy of 200 pages, it's about the right length for a flight from, say, New York to Minneapolis, and it reads as if its author were coaching you on your next career move over an old-fashioned three-martini lunch." Fortune "Mark listens for my real needs. He's one of those rare people who regularly lives up to his mother's expectations.and to mine." Arthur Rubinfeld, Chief Creative Officer, Starbucks Coffee Company "Mark Jaffe is a very, very strange man. But man is he good. I'm still dizzy from my experience with him, and still dazzled.

" Christopher Buckley, author of Thank You for Smoking "Mark is a truly remarkable retained executive recruiter. He interviews intensively and really digs to understand the essence of the executives he recruits for clients. No pretense. No airs. Indeed, he can be outrageously funny and always at his own expense. He is not the stuffed-shirt recruiter that, regrettably, many others are." John Lucht, author of Rites of Passage at $100,000 to $1 Million.
