Network The Hidden Job Market
By Anthony Dowding

What is the "hidden" job market?

This term describes the number of positions where employers receive so many speculative CV's that they often don't need to advertise.

These jobs are offered to people already known to the company either from speculative applications or from friends or contacts of people who already work for the company.

Did you know that 70% of all vacancies are filled by this method.

There are currently around 300 applications for every vacancy advertised on the job boards. That means there are over 300 applications for each of the 30% of vacancies that are actually advertised. If you can stop looking at that 30% and start looking at the other 70% then your chances of finding new job will increase dramatically.

Any job hunter can develop a network of contacts who will be useful to their career prospects. You don't even need to have a director in the family! Networking is easy, if you know how, and job hunters who develop their own contacts will never be short of career advice or offers of work.

Networking

So, what is networking?

It's not about asking and taking.

It's not about asking strangers to do you favours or to get you a job.

It's far more subtle than that. It's about asking people for advice and, whilst doing that, creating an opportunity to make them aware that your available and looking for work in their sphere of influence.

Most people like to help others when they can, particularly if they're giving some advice. So you ask those people you contact questions to gather information about the company or industry which will help you make an informed decision about your career. Many of these people know other people who will be able to offer you advice and will increase your network. This increase in your network increases your exposure to new opportunities.

But how do you network?

Many career contacts are not through the obvious employment related routes. Many can be made by talking to family and friends and meeting people during social events. It's amazing just how many new opportunities friends and family may already know about and just mentioning that you're looking for work in a particular field could lead to your next role. Don't be shy in letting people know that you're looking for a new position and the type of work you're looking for. You never know they might know of a position you wouldn't even have considered. Find out from anyone you meet what they do, the company they work for, colleagues they have and who they could talk to on your behalf.

There are also many online networking opportunities.

Linked-in is a professional online network where you can get in touch with professional contacts you may have made throughout your career. You can join online groups and forums. Simply becoming a member of the site will allow colleagues and contacts from your past to get in touch with you. Linked in exists to help professionals make better use of their professional networks and many recruiters actively use this site for initial searches for recruitment purposes.

Don't overlook social networking sites as a method of spreading the word that you're looking for a new job. Email friends asking to be kept up to date with any developments in their companies and to keep you in mind if they see or hear of any openings. Always make sure you add a little paragraph giving details of what you're looking for, your experience and skills and add your CV to your profile.

I hope this article has helped you in your quest for a new job, but if you'd like to know more then please suggest an article.
