In Transition: From the Harvard Business School Club of New York Personal Seminar in Career Management Seminar

In Transition is drawn from the brilliant seminar that has helped over a thousand Harvard MBAs advance their careers.

For the past ten years Mary Burton and Dick Wedemeyer have conducted their personal seminar on career management for the Harvard Business School Club of New York, helping over 1,000 Harvard Business School graduates advance their careers and enhance their lives. With In Transition, the expertise of these two seasoned career consultants is finally available to all managers not completely satisfied with their jobs and life situations.

Turbulent times demand sophisticated, time- tested approaches to career management. Individuals and organizations are grappling with more structural dislocation than ever before, and economic realities are forcing harder trade-offs on everyone. Many highly proficient managers are facing career issues of major proportion with few guidelines and even less experience to deal with their predicaments. In Transition offers a new perspective and proven guidance to all managers. It will help you to:

• Locate, evaluate, and obtain the most satisfying job possible

• Understand what you really want out of your career

• Assess all your options including a new job in the same field, a new career direction, or enhancement of your effectiveness in your current situation

• Apply the business skills you already possess to your job search

• Integrate your personal and professional life.

Burton and Wedemeyer's book builds on a real-world understanding of how business operates today. In Transition presents the nuts and bolts of a self-marketing model that enables managers to succeed in securing new positions, expanding their options, or changing careers.
