From the Desk of Mike Maffei
Original perspectives on executive job search strategy, career transitions, recruiting, and what hiring actually looks like from the inside, written for experienced professionals 50+.

Senior-level job postings are up 14.7 percent. So why are experienced executives still struggling to get hired? Mike Maffei explains what is happening from the hiring side — and what to do differently.

Someone can spend 25 or 30 years building a very successful career and then be genuinely surprised by how difficult it is to find the next job. Mike Maffei explains why — and where he starts looking.
Executive Job Search
Applying to more jobs isn't always the answer. Mike Maffei explains why experienced executives may get better results from a more targeted job search.

Executive Job Search
Decades of experience should make an executive more marketable. Yet many accomplished professionals over 50 struggle to generate interviews. The problem is often not the amount of experience they have, but how clearly that experience connects to what employers need today.
Executive Job Search
A successful career does not automatically translate into a successful job search after 50. Mike Maffei examines what experienced executives need to reconsider about positioning, applications, networking and today's hiring process.
