Networking

Is your networking not working? Ever wonder why?

Networking is a competitive job-search strategy that gives employers the most-qualified candidate at the lowest salary.

Networking is the second best way to find a job (behind going direct).

30% find a job in 90 days

Although up to 70% of all executives find a job through networking at least once in their lifetime, your odds are more like 30% for your NEXT job ... in the next 90 days ... if you work at it. 

A well-known six-figure job board with 10,000+ members proved it. They found found that 37% of their members landed interviews through a combination of 3 strategies, including networking. And, their average member had been on board for 11 months. Networking (1 of the 3) is statistically less than 37%. Most would argue MUCH less. And it typically takes a few interviews to land a job, dropping this even further.  Our estimate of 30% in 90 days is VERY generous.

The hidden jobs

Many believe that networking will expose the hidden jobs ... and you may find a few. What you may not know is that employers intentionally "leak" their job openings to the networking community where the news spreads like fire. This is after all in the employer's best interest.
