Synopsis

Let Me Give It To You Straight is an examination of the human condition as seen through the striving of corporate management, a guide to getting ahead without getting mustard on your jacket.

If you want an insider's view of the secretive, mysterious world of the headhunter then this is the book for you. Mark Jaffe, ranked by BusinessWeek as one of the World's 100 Most Influential Headhunters, shares his experience in placing executives in a wry, witty and stylish way that gives you a genuinely unfair advantage when planning your next career move.

From the Back Cover

"Mark Listens for my real needs. He's one of those rare people who regularly lives up to his mother's expectations...and to mine.

Arthur Rubinfeld, Chief Creative Officer, Starbucks Coffee Company.

"Mark is a truly remarkable retained executive recruiter. He interviews intensively and really digs to understand the essence of the executives he recruits for clients. No pretense. No airs. Indeed, he can be outrageously funny and always at his own expense. He is not the stuffed-shirt recruiter that, regrettably, many others are."

John Lucht, author of Rites of Passage at $100,000 to $1 Million.

"Mark Jaffe is a very, very strange man. But man is he good. I'm still dizzy from my experience with him, and still dazzled."

Christopher Buckley, author of Thank You for Smoking.
