With over 50,000 copies sold and decades of recruiting insight, this book equips readers to navigate layoffs, interviews, and negotiations with confidence and a multi-channel approach that outperforms typical job board reliance. ## Description Revised and updated to incorporate the harsh realities of the twenty-first-century job market, the popular career book for executives continues to provide valuable advice on surviving a layoff, conducting a job search, and much more. 50,000 first printing. Review: On-line Rites - John Lucht has been a recruiter for 30 years and has been writing executive guides for nearly as long. You need to get this edition as he has thoroughly updated his material to explain rules, procedures, and protocols for job-hunting on the Internet. I was an unemployed executive for nearly a year before landing my current position and Lucht's book is the roadmap for any similar journey. He has insightful sections on resumes, cover letters, severance negotiations, outplacement, networking, references, as well as the better known how-to-guide for dealing with all stripes of recruiters. Don't get hung-up on the title. While Lucht is most familiar with recruiting at the C-level, most of this applies equally well for managers, directors, and experienced professionals. The only criticism I have is that Lucht is focused on job-hunting in strong markets, and needs more analysis of today's humbling markets. He is fairly critical of the typical outplacement service that considers it a success when they place laid-off software executives as owner-operators of ice cream parlors and coffee shops and franchisees of muffler and transmission repair stores. Lucht also thoughtfully debunks a lot of media myths about finding work without a resume or a network. His promotion of direct mail as a marketing tool sounds old-fashioned but it works if you understand that less than 1% of your mail will yield leads, but these are likely leads that would not have been otherwise obtained. Lucht also has built a useful website and avoids the high fees and endless cross-promotions that his competitors favor. Review: Best job-hunting book there is - This is by far the best job-hunting book available. As a retained executive search consultant, I constantly deal with people who are looking for work, and am dismayed at how poorly most people do so. Lucht's book will change your mindset on job-hunting. He reminds you to use all of the major job-hunting techniques, including networking, direct mail, recruiters, and want ads, and teaches you new techniques for doing each one of these. He also has a chapter on how to be interviewed that is easily worth what you'll pay for the book. I first read the book long before I moved into executive search and was able ti use the techniques described in it to develop a number of job offers. In addition, the book is readable and fun; it's obvious that John really cares, and wants the reader to be successful. Some have complained that this book doesn't pay enough attention to internet job boards. It doesn't, because it shouldn't. Job hunters who spend their days probing the internet to find work get disappointed (less than 10% find work through job boards). I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a new job; anyone who plans his job-hunt without reading this book risks selling themselves short, because they'll be missing too many avenues. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #525,813 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #433 in Job Hunting (Books) #1,219 in Job Hunting & Career Guides #11,891 in Business Management & Leadership (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 198 Reviews | ## Images ![Rites of Passage at $100,000 to $1 Million+: Your Insider's Lifetime Guide to Executive Job-Changing and Faster Career Progress in the 21st Century - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/517NWooUzsL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ On-line Rites *by J***L on September 1, 2003* John Lucht has been a recruiter for 30 years and has been writing executive guides for nearly as long.

These parts transcend the changes in the web and job posting environment and are helpful in planning and working any job transition. There are some parts, however, that are out of date and could possible mislead the efforts of someone "new" to job transition. This is due to the publishing date of the book and the technical changes since the publication - not due to bad information, if considered from the point of the original publication date. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/45000988-rites-of-passage-at-100-000-to-1-million-your](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/45000988-rites-of-passage-at-100-000-to-1-million-your) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-30*
