YOUR NEXT CAREER

Your Next Career - A headhunter’s guide to lifelong success

Where do you want to go?

If you’re fumbling for the answer, you have a challenge. Like too many people, you let chance decide your future, and the chances of you accomplishing something and being happy along the way are less than you deserve. Life is not a dress rehearsal.

As one of Denmark’s leading headhunters, Stephen Bruyant-Langer has met and advised thousands of ambitious and successful people. In Your Next Career, he gives you the tools to become the conductor of your career.

He helps you create ‘Your personal business plan’ – a tool he has developed and perfected in collaboration with Danish top leaders. The plan will ensure that you create results for yourself and others while sticking to your long-term ambitions and dreams.

Along the way, Stephen Bruyant-Langer invites the reader inside an industry which is surrounded by many myths. He uses his daily experiences to equip you to find, apply for and get just the right job.
