The best and most concise guide to getting the job you want.

I discovered Max 15 years ago at a recruitment fair where he gave a free presentation on CV writing. I was already so impressed that I kept detailed notes (which I have and refer to, to this day). My next encounter was face-to-face, where I asked his advice on career planning. I followed his advice, as a result of which I have lived (literally) a dream lifestyle ever since. As I write I am in Hong Kong, having made lots more money than I could ever imagine, my success largely fuelled by having done a wide range of jobs that were exactly what I wanted to do at the time, for the money that I wanted to be paid. The book is very short. Much shorter than my own writing! That is because it give very clear and specific advice without beating around the bush. If you follow the steps he gives, you will find that a) you are much more clear about what you are offering and b) everyone around you is much more clear about your true potential. I am now working as an executive recruiter, and I really really wish more candidates had read Max's book. Any book for that matter, but I always recommend Perfect CV. It is SO hard to work out what a candidate is capable of, by reading the typical CV that is piled up on my desk. If you're looking for work, please please do yourself and your potential recruiters a favour by reading Perfect CV. (Max, if you see this: "thanks!") John
