Approximately 80% of job openings never get advertised. They aren’t in your local paper. They’re not going to be on a computer job board. They’re not going to be in a trade journal. So how do you find out about these jobs?
Talk to people. Talk to people? What are you, crazy?
No, I’m not crazy. I’m very serious. You find out about these jobs by talking to people, because that’s how the jobs are promoted.
If you go fishing, you don’t just sit in the boat and wait for the fish to jump in. You bait a hook and drop it in the water. If you’re looking for a new doctor, dentist, mechanic, or hairdresser what do you do? If you’re like most folks, you ask people you know who they use and how they like them. Finding a job that is only advertised by talking to people is done the same way. You talk to people you know, let them know what you are looking for and at the same time you listen to them. Learn what they need and if you can help them, great.
You may ask, why do I want help them? I’m the one looking for help. Yes, you are. Think about it for a moment. Aren’t you more interested in helping someone who has helped you?
