You are your own press officer and have the power to influence the people around you. Everyone has the potential to be headhunted. This is the process of being approached either directly by a headhunting agency or through a contact, about a particular position.
Whether or not it happens to you depends upon how much time, effort and energy you are devote to ‘networking’ building your professional reputation and promoting yourself. Being headhunted is therefore not just for the privileged few; it is for those of you who can take charge of your career and promote themselves in areas where others will notice, value and then recruit you.
