Don't Get Complacent

James Rubin writes from California:

Financial professionals need to be more aggressive job seekers, says one executive recruiter. "The war for talent is still on and getting larger," Paul Herrias told two groups in California recently. "This is your chance to get ahead."

Many financial professionals have become complacent because they hold solid jobs and don't believe it's worth the risk to make a change, Herrerias said in outlining a plan to follow to a new job. Among his suggestions: Network furiously and be willing to "sell yourself." Networking, he noted, involves staying current on industry trends and speaking not only with recruiters but also competitors and customers who may have jobs or leads to other organizations.
