Hidden Job Market
Job seekers are used to the traditional means of finding a job. Look through the paper search the job boards and send up smoke signals.
But what about the jobs that people get without using these means how did they get them. One way would be networking. Make sure everyone knows that you, are looking for a job, you can never tell who know's who. Get the word out and don't be afraid to ask the person if you can send them your resume. Employers have countless unpublished jobs that are open. Once you have identified the new job don't just send your resume into a black hole, do some research and try to find out who the hiring manager is, make an introduction and a impact on that person. A tool that can help you find these people is spoke, this product is used for relationship building and will give you a start for an introduction. Be creative and think outside box, don't wait for them to call you.
