It has been suggested, not unreasonably, that Tiger Woods' playoff win over Bob May Sunday in the PGA Championship at Valhalla was the grandest sporting performance ever seen within our state's boundaries. I am considering a job change and want to know more about it. This is the 'hidden job market,' and tapping into it is a must if you want to attain a new position. When a job opening becomes available, a company is likely to fill the position from within its own infrastructure.
Someone is promoted, then another person fills their position, and so on.
If no qualified person is found, the company may send notice of the opening to related business organizations and other professional contacts. If this search is not successful, then they are likely to publish the opening in the newspaper classified ads or online. Two keys to successfully tapping the hidden job market are 'who' and 'when.' 1. These contacts form the basis of your networking opportunities, and often allow you to tap into openings you would not otherwise know about. If you are searching for a new job, let everyone know you are hunting and what type of position you are considering.
