Search Methods

For most people, the job search process is something that's endured only a handful of times during one's professional life. This process cannot only be time consuming, it can also be stressful. When you are looking for job leads, if you're only looking for advertised jobs, you are missing the very best job opportunities. Approximately 70% of jobs are never advertised. So if you're spending the majority of your time pursuing advertised jobs, you are missing out on lot of great opportunities. Think about it this way, if 30% of jobs are advertised, and 70% of jobs are not advertised, that's how you should divide your time when you are job searching. Spend about 30% of your time pursuing advertised job leads and 70% of your time looking for unadvertised job leads.
