Thanks Noel (Broderick) for providing this post.
Your Network:
Companies aren’t advertising some jobs because of the huge demand for work and the consequent large quantities of “irrelevant” CVs that companies would receive.
Therefore, “who you know” is very important.
You need to contact the “gatekeepers” of these jobs – i.e. HR Managers/staff, Department Managers, Directors, etc and your network can provide this opportunity, either directly or by one or two degrees of separation.
Also, your network is an instant reference for you – so not only can it provide you with information that you wouldn’t otherwise receive, it can also recommend you.
This makes networking all the more vital for work searching in the current economic climate.
The 10 Commandments of where to find your network (in no particular order):
1. Your business card collection
2. Your mobile phone book
3. Your email contact list
4. Your LinkedIn connections, if you’ve a profile. Facebook friends also?
5. Companies that offered you jobs in the past that you didn’t take, if any
6. Officers, Committee members & staff in your professional Institutions, Associations, etc. if you have any
7. Lecturers, teachers & admin staff at the school(s)/college(s) you attended, if any
8. Former colleagues & classmates
When starting out on the networking journey
9. Plan who you want to meet e.g. by attending events with networking potential, especially those organised by your professional Institutions, Associations, etc. if you have any
10. Plan what you are going to say
