Targeted Networking - What Is It?

​

In today’s competitive job market, employers want to hire men and women who project themselves as high achievers and who stand out from the crowd. Strong, meaningful and concise self-presentation gives you the edge in managing the job transition process.

 

Job boards and want ads don’t reveal most of the jobs available in the marketplace, as indicated in the accompanying display 1.  A clear understanding of how the market really works and how to use contacts is the most important skill set that each professional must have to compete in this current and future market. Another problem with most traditional job searches is you must engage with recruiters and human resources “gatekeeper”. These professionals are managing up to 20% of the available positions.

The accompanying display 2, gives a snapshot of what Targeted Networking looks like. Everyone seems to understand the great value of networking, but in truth few people understand how to correctly use this invaluable tool. What is even more important is that only a small number of teachers, consultants and coaches can effectively guide the use of these tools in the best manner, based on the person’s set of strengths.
