If you are in career transition you are discovering that landing your next
job may not happen within a matter of days or weeks or months or even
years! There are many factors that will determine your success and reduce
the length of your job search including a daily commitment, as finding a
job is a full time job! Additionally, a carefully and methodically planned
job search strategy should be reviewed and implemented with one key
question in mind, Where are the jobs?
Close to 90% of recruiters are utilizing social media in 2011 to source
potential candidates. Since they have the jobs, you need to be there.
Establishing and maintaining a professional online presence utilizing
Linkedin, Twitter and Facebook is a key job search strategy. In addition to
networking online it is also imperative to network in person with no less
than 2-3 meetings per day and at least that many per week attending
professional networking groups. The likelihood that networking will be key
to finding your next job is greater than any other job search strategy and
it could take months off the length of your job search!
The number of online jobs continue to rise but use your time sparingly
searching online job boards as it is not where the jobs are. At least not
the majority of jobs. Although many positions can be found, recruiters have
a more vested interest in enticing employers and other organizations to
utilize their services for a substantial fee than using it to find
potential candidates. It has been suggested that the success rate in
securing a position from online job boards is approximately 4% so invest
your time wisely by ensuring your professional resume is posted on all job
search sites and updating it daily since your chances of being found will
be greater than that of finding a job.
Dramatic changes in the economy and the rise and fall of various
industries have impacted career directions around the globe. Job seekers
are encouraged as employers are recognizing the value of transferable
skills as well as the confidence and initiative required to successfully
pursue a new career path. Of course success will be related to choosing the
industry that will take you to where the jobs are. It would not be
considered a prudent decision at this time to transition from Finance to
Manufacturing or from mobile to land line technology so stay current with
changing trends and technologies, economic conditions and business news to
increase job opportunities. Be sure your qualifications meet the
requirements of the position you are applying for to avoid extending your
job search any longer than necessary.
Where are the jobs? Hidden, which is why networking is the best job search
strategy with the best results.
Where are the jobs? Recruiters and HR professionals are trying to fill them
and 89% are utilizing social media to search for potential candidates. Will
they find you?
Where are the jobs? The upswing of many industries and evolving
technologies will indicate where the jobs are so stay current and use the
knowledge to assist in paving the way toward a long and successful career.
Reevaluate your job search strategies and ensure your path is leading you
to where the jobs are especially this summer when most of your competition
have decided to drop out of the job search race.
