Paul Rega is a veteran recruiter with twenty-six years of job hunting and career planning experience. His new job search book, "How To Find A Job: When There Are No Jobs," is a fascinating glimpse into the mind of an Executive Headhunter. Paul takes his readers on an engaging journey where he shares his vast knowledge of the job search process and how to successfully land a job in a weak labor market. This is a necessary and effective job search book for anyone who wants to survive and prosper in today's hyper competitive job market.

In August of 1984, Paul was called into his boss's office at The Fisher Scientific Company and abruptly informed that due to an economic cutback, he would be losing his job! Later that day, still in shock over what had just occurred, he sat on a cold metal folding chair at his local unemployment office, patiently waiting his turn amongst dozens of other seemingly distant minded souls. The thought that he had just lost his first job out of college was tough enough, but he owned a small house he had somehow managed to buy and wondered how he would be able to continue to pay the mortgage. His head jerked sharply upward as his name was finally called for an interview. He vividly recalls the meeting that followed with an older gentleman, a career counselor employed by the state. After Paul endured a battery of questions, the old man said, "Son, push on no matter how disgusting!" He would never forget those simple, but sage words, and knew that the older man understood what his feelings were at this difficult time in his life and probably had been there himself at some point in his career.

In his new book, Paul shares his unique perspective on how to successfully manage the job search process as it relates to a precipitous decline of the US job market. He engages his audience with a fascinating account of his own career struggles and the challenges he has faced as an executive recruiter. Included in his book are hundreds of proven and effective job search techniques and strategies designed to work in a weak labor market, including how to effectively market your background, interviewing skills, network building strategies, effective use of headhunters, salary and benefits negotiation and much more.

As president of an executive search firm, Paul has developed a unique twelve-step career assessment and goal setting process called "Intuitive Personal Assessment" designed to help guide his readers through the discovery and implementation of their desired career path. The self-assessment program utilizes an individual's intuition and incorporates their ideas, skills, interests, values and life experiences to determine one's unique career path.

Paul's message to his readers, many who are now the victims of the country's worst economic downturn since the Great Depression; "As life changes, so often does your career, and to be successful and prosper in today's hyper competitive job market, you must be armed with the proper job search knowledge and skills."
