The job search process can be confusing and intimidating, to say the least. But the good news is that there are some little-known facts that can actually clear up a lot of that confusion and make the process a little more approachable. If this is you, let us know how we can help you today!
1.Most jobs are a secret- 80% of jobs never get posted and only found through networking.
2.Knowing someone on the inside can get you hired- Only 7% of job applicants get an employee referral, yet referrals account for 40% of all hires!
3.Recruiters don’t really read your resume- Recruiters spend, on average, six seconds reviewing your resume. Translation: A resume alone won’t get you a job, but a bad one can ruin your chances.
4.Hundreds of people are applying for the same job- Did you know that a typical corporate job posting will attract 250 resumes on average? With this in mind, you might want to think twice before just throwing your resume in with the other 249 again and again. I know, that number’s scary. But it’s a good reminder of why you do need to tailor your application and put in that extra energy.
