Secrets to finding unadvertised jobs in the new year
|
LOS ANGELES, CA -- There are jobs in every industry that are never advertised to the public. Many high level jobs are not advertised because companies enlist search firms instead. Oftentimes these opportunities are some of the best positions in companies so sought-after that they have a steady stream of applicants knocking at their doors. And if you don't have an inside contact that you can go to for information, it can be a major setback in getting into a company that you want to work for, perhaps preventing you from getting the dream job of a lifetime. So, instead of the problem being a lack of timing or a less than stellar resume, it's a different ball game entirely. It's an uneven playing field. Really. How can you go after a job if you don't know it exists?
It's not enough to be a diligent job seeker judiciously responding to advertised postings. You have to be a real go-getter and dramatically expand your network beyond your outer circle. For the elusive unadvertised jobs, you need to blanket the job market by getting your resume onto the desks of headhunters - those search firms and placement agencies that are routinely hired by companies to find candidates for their unadvertised positions.
So how do you get your name out there, quickly and efficiently? It's actually easier than you think. Use a resume delivery service, such as Resume Mailman. This aptly named service will e-mail your resume and cover letter directly into the hands of thousands of top recruiters or search consultants around the U.S., canvassing what would take any individual - if even possible - months to accomplish. Plus it's affordable, instantaneous, and best of all, takes little time to start receiving responses from recruiters who see positions fitting your qualifications.
Reportedly, the average recruiter is looking for eight to 10 new positions per week, so if your resume is sent to 1,000 recruiters, that's exposure to potentially 10,000 job opportunities! And Resume Mailman has more than 10,000 search firms in their network, ranging in size from solo practitioners to large national companies and international firms. It's much faster and more effective than trying to network on your own or depend on a single headhunter. Resume Mailman can also target the location and job industry you're seeking. And you can get a list of the companies that have received your resume and cover letter.
Besides, it's a fact: Recruiters love to get resumes handed to them from individuals who are proactive about moving their careers forward. It certainly makes their jobs easier.
