How do you tap into this "hidden" job market we often hear about? The biggest answer is networking and having the right connections, Referrals and internal promotions are other sources of hires that make up this "hidden market" so again, it is about who you know and sometimes, getting a role at a company where you want to be, then working your way into the job you want.
Online Social Media and Networking Sites: Friend or Foe?
Most employers (or their Applicant Tracking Systems) look at candidates' online profiles at some point, including Facebook, Instagram, even Tiktok. It's important to ensure your public content reflects only the details about your life that you wouldn't mind your potential employer seeing.
Having a professional presence on sites like LinkedIn can also be a great way to network, learn, stay in touch, receive and give recommendations. But it can be hard to know what to write on LinkedIn when you're in between jobs.
