Are you serious about getting a good job? (Back)Before you answer this question, you better get the facts. You need to be prepared for some changing and competitive times. If it's been a while since you went seeking a job, maybe you should make yourself current with some job market myths.
Job Market Myths Myth: Employment agencies have all the jobs. Less than 7 % of all professional, managerial and executive jobs are ever listed with agencies.
Myth: Employment agencies actively "market" job seekers. In today's market, employment agencies work filling vacancies for companies?rather than marketing job seekers, they try to ?fit? an available job seeker into a vacant position.
Myth: The "classified ads" are where to look for the jobs. Classified advertisements account for less than 3% of the jobs.
Myth: The best-qualified people get the best jobs. The best-marketed people get the best jobs.
Yes, these statements are myths to the markets reality. Of all job search effectiveness, the 'network / referral method' is the most effective. If you are going to adopt a strategy for success, then get your mind ready to approach the job search in a form that it deserves...a job within itself. Be prepared to work just as hard to get a job as you did when you had one. Technology and other paradigm shifts are certainly worth a 're-think'.
