The Hidden Job Market: How to Find Jobs That Are Not Posted

80% of jobs are never advertised. Learn networking strategies to uncover hidden opportunities.

If you are only applying to jobs you see on Indeed or LinkedIn, you are missing out on the vast majority of the market.

Why Jobs Are "Hidden"

Companies prefer referrals. It saves them money on ads and reduces the risk of a bad hire.

Don't ask for a job. Ask for advice. "I'm interested in your company and would love to learn more about your culture."

Identify 10 companies you love. check their websites directly or follow their leaders on LinkedIn.

Reach out to alumni from your school who work in your desired field. The shared connection opens doors.

Post about your work. Comment on industry news. Make it easy for opportunities to find you.

The best job security is a strong network. Start building yours today.
