Podcast, “Tales From the Job Search Trenches”: Why the Hidden Job Search Matters

by kellyharrington on December 3, 2009

I was invited by marketing professional, Michael Surkan, to be interviewed for his podcast on effective job search tips called ‘Tales From The Job Search Trenches” (recorded on 11-30-09).  I love that Michael has taken the opportunity during his current job search to share wisdom with other fellow job seekers through interviewing a variety of career coaches, recruiters, hiring managers, professionals, and more.

During our podcast, we talked about the ‘Hidden Job Market‘. I offered some thoughts on:

  • Why it’s often ‘too late’ to pursue a job once it’s posted
  • Why jobs are posted, in general
  • Tips for using networking effectively to tap into the hidden job market
  • Why it’s important to get clear on your ideal career
  • Why you should know what makes you unique
  • And more

We spent about a half-hour together and just barely scratched the surface so I look forward to sharing more with all of you about the hidden job market in future articles, posts, and coaching programs.

If you need immediate assistance on creating a strategic job search strategy and tapping into the hidden job market, let me know! We’ll set up a time to talk about what can help you most.

I welcome your comments and ‘hidden job market’ success stories.
