Networks are not the full answer to finding a job, but they are often lost in achieving influential gains. In the excessive job market today, many job seekers are in the trap of progress to the largest possible number of jobs in the shortest time. “Spraying and Prayer” approach is anti -results for most job seekers. Spraying 50 to 100 apps per week looks like a race you will never win. The strategy gives revenue. Anyone can do this for several months without remembering that it is the job they want, not actors.

Apply an expensive bloc.

The block can become a strategy without thinking. You can decide whether it is real or without thinking. Both can be correct. It may even achieve a mental box to “make an effort”. The higher the number of jobs you chase without allocating or searching, the more your wheels, focusing on the quantity on the quality.

Even with specially designed applications, send them to the digital black hole without contact or silence follow -up. Service researchers find their application without bias, and the comments are rare. If you are the goal is “I am trying”, your accuracy is great. Determine employment managers Known, examination, and shops. A hundred jobs applied to keep you, your name and qualifications can be ambiguous.

Strategic networks outperform the algorithm.

I have said for years now: Searching for work is a lifestyle. Although it is not too late to communicate effectively, it is hard after months of searching for fixed jobs. Those looking for successful jobs understand this. They do not depend on hope. It takes advantage of the relationships, the presence of industry and the targeted communication. Instead of applying to 30 jobs per week, they may apply to only five or ten – whenever they are carefully chosen or research, accompanied by a strategy: communicating with a person in the company, referring, or placing themselves as a solution to a well -known problem.

Here are what the job seekers do differently:

• Take advantage of referrals: They activate former colleagues, mentors and peers to refer them to companies as an essential element in their networks. However, the referrals are not repeated or common as they were years ago. Refusal no Guaranteed to get an interview for your next job. Some human resources experts feel that they are no longer valuable as they were before.
• Become visible: They share the content, comment on industry news, or write LinkedIn posts that explain experience, ask questions, and make themselves known to employees and decision makers. They are participating in industry regulatory committees, which give a few participants an internal view first on the possibilities.
• Using second and third class connections: The one longing that they know directly can turn into major introductions. They are looking for introductions, information and resources rather than applying for jobs frequently. Information interviews are a great way to start anyone looking to deepen his current contacts and gain Constructive direction.
• Reverse engineering opportunitiesInstead of just searching for holes, they are looking for companies and leaders who do interesting jobs, then find ways to engage in value, even before spreading the job.

Why do it matter more than ever!

With hundreds of qualified candidates who apply for one role, the application is rarely sufficient. It is not a secret employment and employment managers of interest in more attention to a person provided by a reliable source or who was already seen in a professional context. They often depend on obtaining qualified candidates from employment companies. The winning candidate receives the most attention when they transfer value and results.

Strategic networks are not related to the abandonment of Schmoozing or the cold. It comes to building meaningful connections and creating a reputation that precedes the CV, about showing where the conversations occur, and being part of the ecosystem you want to join.

Ready -made meals

Group presentation may make you feel busy, but not a competitor. With experience, networks are an effective deliberate strategy. What stands out today is those who communicate with others in a non -contact mode, even if it is a phone call from person to person. Few may find success in text messages or direct messages, but regardless of the method used, the exchange of value remains key.
