How to Use a Search Firm: By John Karras, Job Transitions, Inc.
First, it's important to understand that the search firm industry is made up of Contingency Search Firms, which handle multiple opportunities for various clients but only receive payment if the job seeker they are assisting is hired.

I would add that before writing your resume, scheduling interviews, or anything else, create a list of criteria for assessing interviews and job offers. Ask yourself, “How will I evaluate an interview or potential offer?” Use that list to develop your questions and gather the information needed to make an informed decision. Don’t let the company “sell you” into a job you might not want. John Karras

Establish Career Direction: By John Karras, Job Transitions, Inc.
Many people have too much direction! They put too much emphasis on job titles. People will even screen themselves out of a position based on a job title. Disregard job titles for the time being. In order to execute a successful job search or career transition, you need to concentrate on the day-to-day responsibilities of the position you want to target, regardless of the job title. Job titles can be ambiguous. A "manager" with one particular company will be responsible for d

Storytelling
Storytelling is an important skill to utilize during a job interview. Matthew McConaughey’s short You Tube video on storytelling is an excellent example. He does not rush to explain what is happening. He lets you experience the moment with him. By the time he shares the final detail you are already engaged.
