Nourish Your Network

The concept of networking is simple: It’s letting people know that you’re in the job market and telling them about your interests and the kind of work you are seeking. Networking is also about asking for advice and assistance in achieving your career objectives.

Book Excerpt

Champion Your Career

What networking does is to tap into the hidden job market. This market is approximately 80 percent of the jobs that are available every day and do not get advertised. It is a myth that all jobs are advertised. If you think about it from the perspective of most employers, when there is a job opening within their company what are they going to do first? They are not going to put an ad in the newspaper or list it on the internet unless they really have to because they will receive hundreds of applications. Instead, they will ask in-house to see if fellow workers have contacts that might be a good fit for the company. It is much easier to interview five people who have been referred through employees or friends of employees than to laboriously go through a hundred résumés. This is what the hidden job market is all about.

So how do you tap into this market?
