About this book

A veteran recruiter helps create a business plan for your career. Where's Your Buffalo? is a career management guide for any age and any career stage. It's a timely framework for finding, pursuing, and achieving employment that enables any reader to meet their professional and personal life goals. It's a practical path to help readers choose a career, get the job they want, earn what they are worth, and do what they love (or at least genuinely like). Where's Your Buffalo? shares the methodology that author Tom Johnston has developed over 35 years as a search consultant at some of the world's most influential firms. This book will help readers identify their perfect career (their "Buffalo") and chart a course to reach it, including how to:

  • Better understand your skills and talents
  • Articulate what is important to you in a job and why
  • Identify industries that will support what is important to you
  • Determine your target destination (we can adjust course as conditions change)
  • Research and understand the companies that can provide you with a path
  • Build a targeted network to help you along the way
  • Learn how to hunt for the job you want


Only 1% to 2% of people in the world will have the chance to be coached by an executive recruiter. Where's Your Buffalo? is your chance.
