From the course: Find a Job in the Hidden Job Market

Finding your unadvertised dream job

- Glass Door tells us that for every corporate position that's posted, on average, there's 250 job seekers that apply. Typically, only two to six of those get asked to come in for an interview. Those aren't very good odds. But I'm here to help you get better odds. The key to having greater success in your job search is to have a decision-maker conversation before the job gets posted. Welcome to the hidden job market. Or, as I like to say, the unadvertised job market. I'm Sarah Johnston and for as long as I can remember, I've had to goal of helping people flourish in their careers. I'm a former corporate recruiter and I launched my own business to help job seekers and I have helped people land roles at top companies like Deloitte, Medtronic, Google, and Lululemon. I personally have benefited from the hidden job market. I've moved multiples times throughout my adult career and have had to look for jobs in markets where I literally knew no one. The strategies that we're going to talk about today are the exact strategies that I've used and that I've coached hundreds of job seekers on. This course is going to give you a road map to develop a strategic job search. I'm going to teach you how to land conversations with decision-makers and connectors so that you can find out about opportunities at your target companies before they're advertised. It only takes one conversation to change the trajectory of your entire job search.
