Episode Description
Contrary to popular job market fiction, employers do not intentionally hide open positions from candidates. In fact, employers are as challenged as candidates about how to match a job that needs to be done with a person who has the ability to get it done, fit into the company culture, and won’t make costly errors. The proliferation of online recruiting and social media has revolutionized the job search process and turned the experience on its ear for both parties. However, one thing has not change since forever: people only hire people they know, like, and trust. In this show, host Marie Zimenoff will welcome Debra Feldman to share her secrets for candidates to connect with hiring decision makers or those who can introduce them to these individuals before the official announcement of the position. If you’re looking to break away from the crowd of candidates in today’s highly competitive job market and gain access to unadvertised career opportunities, listen in!
