Secrets of the Job Hunt

Career Advice Podcasts & Job Seeker Network

What creates job openings?
Most job seekers go about their job search the wrong way:

No plan, no deadline and no idea about what they want to pursue, insofar as a job title or job

target. And they wait until a job advertisement appears... And they wait for a response from

employers.....


Instead of taking the passive approach that yields disappointing results, more often than not,

let's look at what creates job openings, even in a tight economy:

New technology ex: web 2.0, including social media is exploding AND people are getting

social media jobs

Consumers demanding new services and products ex: on demand services

Reorganization, merges or buyouts of companies ex: automotive industry

New markets ex: online shopping

New legislation ex: health and safety; environmental needs; recruitment

Social trends ex: employers and recruiters are using more social networking web sites

to hire and screen job candidates

Retirement ex: It is estimated that 65 million North Americans will retire in 5 years!

New management ex: in with the old, out with the new

When job searching, think of companies that are expanding, enjoying new growth or

experiencing the above factors.


No matter how the economy is performing, most companies experience at least a 20-25%

turnover of employees every year.

That translates into opportunity for you.

Instead of looking for employers, think of who can benefit from what YOU offer and how

you can respond to the above factors in job creation.
