Getting the Inside Track on Unadvertised Jobs
Staff Writer, The Career News

Even in this economy, there are still millions of great jobs out there. Companies are still looking for qualified candidates to fill their open positions. And yet it's possible that you won't hear about all these available but hidden jobs. So here's the little known secret to tapping into the most lucrative, yet hidden jobs available.
 

Many of the best jobs never make their way to the classifieds.

Instead, they're taken by people who know about them before they're ever advertised. Imagine how great it would be if you had thousands of friends who'd always tell you about unadvertised jobs that you're perfect for.

As they say, it's not what you know it's who you know. The secret to getting the unadvertised jobs is to make friends out of really good recruiters. And not just a few, but LOTS of them. Here's why, and how you do it:
 

Want to get a job through a recruiter?

Recruiters, otherwise known as headhunters or search consultants, are hired by companies to find candidates to fill open positions. These jobs are often never advertised. But the secret of how to best use recruiters is to first realize that contrary to popular belief, you aren't their employer. This is an important fact that most job seekers don't realize. The key to maximizing recruiters is to understand the following: Recruiters don't find jobs for people -- they find people for jobs. It's an important distinction to understand if you want to get a job through a recruiter.

In other words, recruiters service the companies who will pay them today. And unless you're paying a recruiter out of your pocket today, don't expect them to canvas the world to find you a job. You'll only be disappointed. Recruiters will be interested in you if you meet the criteria of a job one of their client companies has asked them to fill, or they believe they'll soon be asked to fill.
 

Job searching is a numbers game.

So to get the hidden jobs, you have to realize it's a numbers game and you must play it well by getting your resume to as many recruiters as you can, that specialize in people with your skills, in your field and in your geographic area.

You can search the internet and find various lists of executive recruiters. However, they're not well organized, complete or easy to find. It might take you a great deal of time. Alternatively if you want to instantly get your resume in the hands of 1000's of specialized recruiters, try a service like ResumeMailman.com.
 

Put your resume into the hands of 1000's of recruiters.

The Resume Mailman network is filled with pre-screened and talented recruiters that have connections to tons of unadvertised jobs. Your resume is instantly emailed to 1000's of recruiters in your selected areas, specializing in your selected skill sets.

With Resume Mailman the process of getting your resume out to these recruiters takes about 10 minutes! You can even get a confidential email address for your resume AND receive a contact list of all the recruiters who received your resume. Following up with these recruiters will only help move you to the top of their minds and your resume to the top of the stack. This is a very effective yet little known way to quickly gain access to the unadvertised jobs. To check out ResumeMailman.com, follow this link.

While some recruiters may not have something for you today, if their clients regularly look for people with your skills, they will add you to their database. That's a good thing. The first place a recruiter looks when a client comes to them with a job to fill, is their own personal candidate database. It's never too late or too early to start networking with recruiters in your area who specialize in people like you.
