How Do You Find The Door (So You Can Stick Your Foot In It)?

Finding a new job in a tough economy can be
really.. tough.

There are still great jobs out there. Are you
having difficulty finding them? Do you send
out heaps of resumes and hear back nothing?

Three Steps To Landing A Great Job

The job search can be boiled down to these
three steps:

1. Find the job opening.
2. Stand out with your application.
3. Wow them in the interview.

Straightforward enough. But what if you’re...

Stuck On Step One?

Have you ever heard of the “Hidden Job Market”?
You know, all the jobs out there that are filled
without a job posting ever going up...

There’s far less competition for “hidden” jobs,
because there are far less people in the running
(which makes Steps 2 and 3 much easier).

If you have tried to find that hidden market, with
little success, try this simple three step process:

1. Make a list of the 5 most connected people
you know.

2. Call each of them, tell them what type of
position you’re looking for, and ask if they
know anyone who may have a need in that
area. If not, ask for the names and numbers
of others they would recommend you talk to.

3. Call their referrals. Let them know who gave
you their number, then ask the same
questions of them.

Here’s The Catch...

It really can be that easy.

The caveat is, you won’t get a job from each and
every interaction. Every job search is different.
No one can tell you how long it will take, but if you
step up to the challenge, get in action, and stay
positive, you will land your next job, perhaps
sooner than you thought!
