Episode Description
Today, job search success doesn’t rely only on what you know or who you know, but on who knows, likes, and remembers you. Employers want to avoid hiring the wrong person and believe that a referral – an introduction from someone they already trust – will yield the best results. Becoming the candidate who is referred in is the job seeker’s goal. In this episode of Career Confidante Radio, host Marie Zimenoff welcomes Debra Feldman. Debra shares how job seekers can achieve one-on-one interactions with hiring decision-makers. You’ll walk away with tips for researching, selecting, and networking with high-quality connections plus how to source contacts and identify target companies. If you want to get in the driver’s seat to choose the right job while speeding up your job search, listen in!
