如何进入高端猎头的视野

亲爱的安妮：我在一家大公司任中高层管理职务，就像你在最近的一篇专栏文章中所写，我真地感到自己被困在这里了。我认为，我应当到其他地方寻找更好的机会，或许在一家小一点的公司。如果我能凭借一己之长获得高端猎头关注的话就更好了，他们也许正在物色像我这样的人。

    我常常听说，要将自己打造成某一特定领域内的“专家型人才”，一个办法就是在会议或其他行业集会中发表演讲。但我的问题是，如何能获得这样的机会？难道会议组织者寻找的不都是有经验的演讲嘉宾吗——（这是一个经典的第二十条军规），如果你没有演讲的经验，如何才能获得这样的机会呢？——“闲不住”

Dear Annie: I'm in upper-middle management at a big company where, as you wrote about in your recent column, I really feel stuck. I think I'd have a better shot at moving up somewhere else, maybe at a smaller company, especially if I can leverage my expertise in my field to get the attention of executive recruiters who might be searching for someone like me.

    I've heard over and over again that one way to establish a reputation as a "go-to" person in a specialized area of knowledge is to give speeches at conferences and other industry gatherings, but my question is, how does one break into that? Don't conference organizers usually look for experienced speakers -- and (a classic Catch-22), if you don't have speaking experience, how are you supposed to get it? — Restless
