How is the CFO job market?
Worried in Wichita
Dear Worried,
You ask a question that almost every CFO I speak with asks, whether they are actively looking for a new CFO role, or are just keeping an ear open to potential opportunities.
The short answer is: CFOs are getting new jobs, even in a difficult economy.
How do I know this? Simple. My firm tracks CFO Moves across the United States. As of last week, we started sharing this information with the public in our sister blog, CFO Moves. You can view our blog, which is updated every Monday with CFO Moves for the previous week. (If you want to get a weekly update on these CFO Moves, click on the “Sign me Up!” button on the right side of the blog).
So, to answer your question: How is the CFO job market? Good.
Can it be better? Absolutely.
What can you do about it? Be visible, build your CFO brand, network and smile (no one wants to hire a Grumpy CFO).
Samuel
