ExecuNet Exclusive: Executives Landing New Positions At Faster
Pace
Despite lingering concerns about the implications
of a recession in the real estate market, the
executive employment market remains buoyant
and executive job seekers are finding new
management positions at a faster pace than in
recent years. "Given the pace at which companies
are aggressively looking to recruit top talent this
year," says ExecuNet president Mark Anderson,
"corporations clearly expect earnings to remain
strong for an extended period of time." That
optimism, combined with executive-level recruiting
activity that has shortened the job search for most senior mangers is borne out in the findings of
ExecuNet's 15th annual Executive Job Market Intelligence Report.
Department stores market at Fashion
Week
Elisabeth Butler Cordova
Published: September 7, 2007 - 1:07 pm
New York’s department stores are taking a much bigger interest in Fashion Week this year as they
seek out exclusive deals with emerging designers and push to become the go-to source for hot
styles.
Saks Fifth Avenue relaunched its Web site on Wednesday with a new Fashion Week video feature
that will offer runway reviews and cover the trends.
“Fashion has become entertainment, almost like a game show,” Michael Fink, the luxury chain’s vice
president of fashion says. “We’re telling customers what it’s like to be a retailer at the shows and
make these big decisions about what to buy.”
Lord & Taylor is also making a play for attention at Fashion Week. The Manhattan-based retailer is
paying groups of models to wander around Bryant Park holding large shopping bags that feature the
store’s new logo. In a more traditional marketing move, Lord & Taylor took over the series of large
kiosk advertisements that line the edge of Bryant Park on West 42nd Street. The retailer also gave
three up-and-coming designers $20,000 each to help finance their runway shows.
The Fashion Week push is part of a $10 million re-branding campaign that 181-year-old Lord &
Taylor launched this fall.
Not to be outdone, Henri Bendel for the first time sponsored a fashion show called Style360. The

Report: New York's tech workforce larger than Silicon Valley's
6:48 AM EDT, September 9, 2007
Sometimes referred to as Silicon Alley, owing to its purported small size, New York's high technology
sector has seldom been seen as a major player.
But a nonprofit group hopes to challenge that perception when it releases, due out Monday, that says
that New York has more high technology workers than innovation meccas like Seattle, or even Silicon
Valley itself.
The report, "Buried Treasure: New York's Hidden Tech Sector," counts tech workers at major
companies that have offshoots in Manhattan _ such as Microsoft, IBM and Google _ as well as those
who work at research and development departments at medical institutes and other organizations.
"This is not a city where you drive down the street and see buildings with technology firms' names on
them," said Sara Garretson, president of the Industrial Assistance Corporation, a nonprofit economic
development organization that commissioned the study.
Based on the authors' unique accounting, the New York Metropolitan Statistical Area that covers
southern New York and Northern New Jersey has nearly 620,000 technology workers. That is more
than twice the number of such workers in Silicon Valley.
By contrast, Popular Science magazine in 2005 rated New York 39th among high-tech cities.
The new study looked at more than 180 companies that rely heavily on technology. It also
recommends creating an Office of Science and Technology Enterprises within the mayor's office and
starting a "branding" effort to attract talent and financing for startups.
Russell Hancock, chief executive of Joint Venture: Silicon Valley Network, a nonprofit regional
planning group in San Jose, Calif., questioned whether such initiatives would stoke growth in New
York's high-tech sector.
"Place still matters," he said. "What's in the Silicon Valley is a critical mass, just this dense, fibrous
network of innovators, of technology people bumping into each other like molecules in a gas."

JMC Job Search Tips (Simple Things pt 60…)
Fall Search Campaign
Popular perception is that the Labor Day holiday heralds the end of summer and the
beginning of autumn or fall even though technically the new season begins this year on
September 23. That being said, it’s important to adhere to the notion that “perception is
reality” because you want to be a part of the mix when employers are hiring. This is
considered one of the prime hiring times as both organizations and job seekers are very
active. One of the principal reasons has to do with the school schedule. Once the young
ones are back formally engaged in the educational process, there’s more time available to
devote to hiring and job search activities. In other words, the workplace resumes a more
regular schedule which results in a more productive focus around these selected tasks. So
hopefully, you spent your summer, polishing up your message, your networking skills, and
your communications package that you can now put into full effect. You’ll need to because
the same rule applies to your competition, other job seekers. They now have more time to
devote to their search efforts and there will be more of them actively looking. Unlike you
however they won’t have had the added advantage of developing and honing their search
tools so the ball is firmly in your court…
