If you market
yourself by using the strategies you learn in this site you will
have a much better chance of enticing employers to create a position
for you. The on-line Biola University Career Center cites research
conducted by Mark Granovetter. His survey indicated that 43.8%
of job seekers said positions were created for them during the
process of applying directly to employers or networking.
Networking Isn't Always
The Most Successful Job Search Method
Networking has received an extensive amount of attention as the
#1 job search method. As a result, many job search instructors
focus on this method as the only job search method they recommend.
Yet networking doesn't always land people jobs. For example,
Terry had owned a business marketing point of sale systems. His
income had been over $120,000 annually. After a year and a half
of networking within his industry Terry was distraught because
he hadn't had one job offer. Working together, it became clear
that Terry's niche was relatively small. While his network included
over 250 business associates--these contacts were within a dying
market. It appeared that no one was hiring or looking to expand
in this field.
I asked Terry if he had pursued other job search methods. He
said he had only been networking because he thought it was the
#1 way to land a job. He said he felt like a failure since he
couldn't even land a job using the #1 method. We then talked
about other job search methods and created a new resume with
less emphasis on the field he left. Three weeks later his wife
told me he had landed several interviews for positions very close
to his previous salary. Other job seekers have also told me similar
stories. Many actually breathe a sigh of relief, sit back and
say, "It's wonderful to hear there are other job search
methods in addition to networking. I hate asking people that
I know about job openings. It's embarrassing and I feel like
I'm begging." Hearing this response from job seekers
so often, I think it's important that you lead your job search
by using strategies you feel most comfortable with. But, be sure
to utilize the other top job search methods even if it means
stretching your comfort zone.
Electronic
Job Search Methods
Statistics aren't in yet on the success of electronic job search
methods like those we discussed in the Electronic
Resume Workshops.
But, be sure to actively integrate them into your job search
program particularly if you are in a high tech field.
