60% of jobs go unadvertised
January 31st, 2009
Statistics indicate that over 60% of the jobs available are never advertised to the public (other sources suggest that the figure is more like 70%). The average Job Seeker believes that all employers would be advertising their vacant positions to ensure that they get the best people for the jobs. Once you make the transition to being a Job Hunter, you’ll soon realise that this is not the case at all.
A UK Government source states:
“There were 562,000 job vacancies in the three months to November 2008”
Job Hunters know only too well that they must look beyond the traditional adverts they see in the newspapers and look into the hidden job market. If you include the hidden job market (further details may be found in “Get me Off The Dole ”) in your Job Hunting strategies then you will increase your success rate dramatically.
