Job Searching

• Why get job searching help?

The most difficult, frustrating and time consuming aspect of job searching is the process of actually finding the perfect job! Most jobs seekers are unaware of what to do to guarantee their job search is totally methodical and comprehensive. Most job seekers are oblivious to the numerous job-hunting techniques available and need the career advice and job searching direction to ensure they are using all the job searching methods available.

Research has shown that nearly 70% of job opportunities are not advertised. Typically unadvertised roles have less applicants, so there is less competition! Many jobseekers target the same large organisations rather than small to medium sized businesses employing less than 200 people. Research also shows that networking accounts for a significant amount of roles secured. Recently many organisations are cost saving and focussing their efforts on sourcing staff directly, so nowadays job seekers must be proactive.
