We've said it before... And we'll say it again... Network, network, network!!!
Do you want to work for a certain company? One approach – what most employers expect these days – is to submit your CV online. But, no surprise, it will fall into an applicant pool of thousands. You also can try contacting the hiring manager. However, if you do not already have a personal connection, this dramatically reduces the odds of actually speaking with him or her. “Who you know is as important as what you know” is a particularly powerful truism in our current market. Building – and leveraging – your network can mean all the difference between finding your next job and becoming a perpetual candidate.

Online job search for success
Back in January we wrote a post dedicated to the new year and how professional networking could help you land a job (when used in the right way)!
Three months into the month, we thought a quarterly review would be useful! At Right Management we are big fans of sites like LinkedIn and Twitter. And we are not the only ones... There is an increasing number of individuals who we work with who now find new jobs on social networking sites (approx 5%). This is a big jump from less than 2% in just a couple of years, and it is still growing.
Sites like these are useful sources of information, great for job sourcing and making new connections.
Increasing numbers of employers are advertising jobs only in this way too, feels rather exclusive doesn't it? Well, this way companies can talk often talk direct with candidates informally and get a grasp of their experience and qualifications too. So, for them to find you - are you online?!
