The Wall Street Professional's Survival Guide: Success Secrets of a Career Coach by Roy Cohen

The Wall Street Professional's Survival Guide: The Secrets of a Career Coach is the only complete, up-to-date, and practical guide for financial industry professionals seeking new or better jobs in today's brutally competitive environment. Author Roy Cohen spent more than 10 years providing outplacement services to Goldman Sachs' employees. In this book, he shares finance-specific job-hunting insights you simply won't find anywhere else.

You'll find industry-specific guidance on interview strategy, resumes, follow-up, references, and even negotiation with real examples drawn from Cohen's own practice.
