How to identify the “hidden” job market….
May 30th, 2007 by the medical sales recruiter
It has been said that around 70 percent of all jobs are not advertised publicly. There are a couple of great ways to deal with this. Cultivating your very own network is an effective way to tap into the “hidden” job market and is an extremely important component of your job search. Your network should include people you can receive advice, information, and suggestions from. Use online networking like LinkedIn and Jigsaw. Form a group of like people and start meeting once a ….(you decide month? quarter? ) Or maybe just commit to forwarding all job emails to the group. And, you can use a recruiter. As a medical sales recruiter, I can verify that this statistic is my reality. You should send your resume to me now–even though I might not have the “perfect” medical sales job in the “perfect” location on my website for you right now, you can bet I’ll have something similar, maybe in your location, in the future (unless you live in North Dakota).
