Cracking The Hidden Job Market:
How to Find Opportunity in Any Economy
Can't find a job?
Maybe you're seeing only half the picture!
Half the job market is invisible.
Are you spending all your time applying to posted job openings-postings that draw hundreds, and in some cases, thousands of applications? No matter how perfect you are for the job, there is always someone else who's a little more qualified, more experienced. The key to success in the current job market could be breaking through to the hidden job market. Over half of all jobs go to someone who did not apply to a posted opening at all. What are they doing and how are they doing it? They're finding new jobs before the posting hits the Internet.
Career guru Donald Asher offers proven strategies for finding great opportunities in any industry. With Cracking the Hidden Job Market you'll stop wasting time and effort and beat the job-search odds by learning how to: " find jobs that are never posted anywhere " get complete strangers to help you find a job " convince potential employers to give you an interview-even when they're “not hiring” " find-and land-the new jobs in this, or any, economy!
The Global Skillset and the Borderless Career
Careers and work itself have become borderless. A typical project may involve design in Europe, engineering in India, and production in China, or mix it up in any order! Global employers want internationalists who can form a team and solve problems, both virtually and face-to-face, working across cultures and national boundaries. If you want to remain relevant for your entire career, come to this talk about global teams, the coming war for talent, how to optimize your career by going borderless, and other trends facing young workers.
