Accessing the hidden job market 
70-80% of jobs are never advertised. You need to find out how to tap into this hidden job market.
A telephone seminar is also available – join the live class or listen to a recording.
More people find a job through the hidden route than through applying to advertisements.
It can appear a mysterious secret, but I can show you exactly what you need to do.
There are different ways to get a job. You can be reactive or proactive. The reactive approach is to respond to job advertisements.
The proactive approach is to take charge of how your job search develops. Not waiting for jobs to be advertised but making contact with people and organisations that may be able to help. It is not an easy option. You need to undertake intensive preparation work on understanding yourself, and write a carefully researched letter where you can identify how your skills, qualities and abilities can be of value to a company.
This module will help you to understand why you should undertake a proactive approach to job hunting, begin to identify companies and know how to make speculative enquiries to potential employers, agencies and consultants. You'll learn to sidestep the gate keeper to talk with the relevant person. What more could you want?
