Finding the Hidden Job Market
The hidden job market consists of all job opportunities that are not actually published for wide distribution and represents approximately 80% of job opportunities. The proven method for successfully tapping into this hidden job market puts a job seeker in front of decision makers who can offer advice about the industry. The fastest and most effective way to get in front of these decision makers is through family, friends and your sphere of influence. With the right mindset and scripting, these decision makers can help connect you to the hidden job market. Sometimes the connection is right within their own organization.
