The Hidden Jobs

As an informed job seeker, you've heard the term, The Hidden Job Market.  Tapping into this can be difficult if you are not a networker.  So, you've begun networking- meeting all sorts of people and not knowing really where to focus. 

It all should start with a marketing plan.  Here's why:

• You need a focus so others can better assist you.
• You need a focus so you can find what you are looking for.
• You need a focus to keep you motivated and proactively searching.

I recently ran across a resource rich blog focusing on tapping into the hidden job market.  It covers the gammit of topics related to this subject.  Sources of small companies, tactics for contacting target companies, plus very positive outlooks on the new economy. 

It also advocates for LinkUp, a search engine for legitimate jobs because it pulls from company websites, not the "boards".
