It was a commonly held belief that unemployed job seekers had a tougher time getting attention from executive recruiters, but that's not necessarily true anymore, says ExecuNet Executive Director Lauryn Franzoni. "Recruiters are having — in their own way — as tough a time in this marketplace as out-of-work candidates are," she says.

In this short video, Franzoni suggests some powerful tips for how executives — in any career stage — can leverage their marketplace knowledge in building relationships with search firm recruiters.

More than a few laid-off executives have expressed the sense of relief that accompanied their terminations. But that's just one of an amalgam of feelings that often includes anger, disbelief and grief. Self-care is particularly important during this time, with many experts saying that a short, temporary "quiet period" helps replenish positive energy and calibrate focus.

Executives in this situation have identified two specific sources of their relief: no longer stressing over job insecurity, and a new opportunity to find their passion and reinvent themselves. Many have been in careers of default, starting as a young employee in a certain industry and then moving up as skill sets and experience develops.

Recently, I had the good fortune to attend a dinner gathering in New York hosted by John Sumser the founder and CEO of Interbiznet and currently the editor of HR Examiner, a weekly publication which focuses on the people, technology, ideas and careers of senior leaders in human resources and human capital, all subjects on which he is a respected expert. It is a newsletter I always look forward to reading.

I was fortunate enough to be seated next to Peter Clayton, the voice and engine behind Total Picture Radio, which is interested in career trends and thought leadership in that arena. It is a site I would suggest you visit regularly.
