What has changed in the last 25 years?
• Hidden job market (previously 70%, now 86%)
• Recruitment processes (reduction in recruitment agents)
• Online job alerts (automatic updates, targeted content)
• Value of your network (not security of your job)
• Rate of change of technology (keep up to date or be left behind)
• Importance of keywords (in house and online)
• Brand YOU (manage your own profile and career)
Hidden Job Market
• If 86% of jobs are NEVER advertised – don’t rely on advertisements
• Niche job boards – Industries, Professions, Companies
• LinkedIn Recruiter – Headhunted only – follow the Company
• Not what you know, not who you know but who refers you
• Be proactive
• Today – skills to find a job (not do a job)
• Consider several options (that include your non-negotiables)
Not applying for jobs online then…
• Networking
• Referrals
• Voluntary Work in your Industry or Profession
Two Hours Per Day, Five Days per Week, Multiple Concurrent Strategies
