Job Clubs Plus Networking Equals Job Search Success
By now you probably know the best way to find a job is networking. Expanding your number of contacts is a major strategy in the job search. The more connections you have the better your chances to landing a job. Getting connections should be as simple as having a conversation with different people that interest you. People you would like to know more about their career. Maybe, someone that works in an industry that sparks your curiosity.
Social media is a great example of networking; it’s a platform job seekers can use to share industry information with hiring managers, recruiters and current employees. Job seekers should be consistent and post their thoughts or comments on what others in the industry have shared. Using social media is a great marketing tool. Job seekers can share their knowledge and making connections which is a proven way to broaden your network, expand your knowledge and get recognition. Furthermore, it makes the job search easier and increases your chances to learn about hidden jobs (unadvertised jobs).
If you want to find a job faster join a job club. A Job Club aims to grow awareness and help job seekers understand how applying simple techniques can significantly improve participant’s skills. According to various news sources, working with others in a job club has a 70% success rate.
