The Unpublished Job Market
“The overwhelming majority of both corporate and search firm recruiters has consistently maintained that they are not posting executive positions with compensation over $200K on public websites, so if you can’t find the people pathway to those jobs, they will remain invisible.”

“Two days ago I made a comment on Twitter that was the emotional response to a run in I had with an intolerant individual. The Tweet was aimed at the offense not the city of Memphis. Everyone knows that at 140 characters Twitter does not allow for context and therefore my comments were misunderstood. If I offended the residents of Memphis, TN I’m sorry. That was not my intention. I understand that people have tremendous pride in their hometown.”
