Career opportunities exist outside Job Search Sites
Experts claim that there may be up to as many as 50% career opportunities in
the hidden job market. Whether you’re currently out of work or looking to
advance your career, always be prepared for “hidden” interviews. What’s that?
“Hidden” interviews are when you’ve come into contact with somebody, an
interviewer, who has either hiring authority or much influence over a hiring
authority and you’ve garnered their attention.
Always be prepared for your next “hidden” interview
With a “hidden” interview, you could be
discussing your career with an interviewer in a totally informal setting. At
your next conference, in a job-related aisle at the bookstore, or online in a
user’s forum, you could be chatting with your “hidden” interviewer and not even
know it.
People who are successful in their careers credit the
value of networking non-stop. Make such a positive impact on your interviewers
that they’d try to create job opportunities for you at their workplace.
Here are tips to maximize the interaction you have with your “interviewer” in
every opportunity you get:
• Write and polish an elevator speech for yourself.
• Think about questions you can ask to keep an “interviewer” talking. The more
the interviewer talk, the better “interviews” will go for you.
• Carry an updated resume with you to give to the “interviewer”.
• Keep business cards with you. Have your web address printed on your business
card. You have a web site that promotes your career, don’t you?
• Know where you want to go with your career. Coming across wishy-washy
regarding your career translates to forgettable.
Further your education with distance learning courses. Build on your career
related skills with something you do in your “off time.” Getting involved with
your community gives you more opportunity to interface with “hidden”
interviewers.
