Online job applications (does it work?)
The internet provides a simple way of applying for jobs and presenting yourself to numerous potential employers...but does it work?
With 70% of jobs never being advertised online or in the newspapers, it is time to rethink the whole process of online applications, which often really becomes a "black hole" of poor results. Plus, with ATS (Application Tracking System) robots doing the initial shortlisting, often from 300 to 400 applications, what REAL chance do you have?
People give people jobs, not computers! Start talking to the right people in your target market today and stop applying online...it is much more effective.
Much has been written on the "hidden job market," which is not a new concept, but it is where most jobs are found.
It's not easy, but it is a highly effective way of quickly finding your next job.
Professional assistance from a career development practitioner will give you the tools and techniques to turn your job search into a real career opportunity.
