    “Tyler’s Guide is the definitive book on how to change jobs in healthcare. Although there are many books about changing jobs, this book is the only one written expressly for healthcare executives by one of the most well-known headhunters in healthcare. Tyler’s more than 30 years of experience in recruiting comes through on every page. His advice is straightforward, practical, and to the point. This edition adds new information to help readers deal with the ever-changing employment landscape. Written in a style that is easy to understand and highly entertaining, his ‘Tyler’s Tips’ provide superb insight into practices and techniques that give readers an edge over the competition. Tyler’s Guide is written for all levels, from the newly minted MHA/MBA/MPH graduate to the most senior executive. I heartedly recommend this book to anyone seeking a new job.”
