How many jobs are you missing by only looking at the job ads?

How many jobs are you missing by only looking at the jobs ads?

Estimates vary, but advertised jobs only comprise somewhere between 7% and 15% of jobs that available.

So if all you do is look at the job postings you are missing between 85% and 93% of all jobs.

Hmmmm.

If that's what you are doing, perhaps it's time to access the Hidden Job Market, which is where you'll find the rest of the jobs.

Unadvertised job include those that you find:

bullet

by talking to friends and family,

bullet

by doing Informational Interviews with people in the type of work you want to do (not the employers or the managers),

bullet

by cold calling on employers and by generally using your initiative and just getting out there,

bullet

talking to as many people as possible, giving them a clear idea of what it is you do and are looking for in the way of work.

More help is available  is available to get you to that great job.
