Job-Hunt.org’s Dirty Dozen Online Job Search Mistakes

We've been job hunting online for over 10 years now, and the marketplace has changed. It has become much more competitive, and also much more dangerous. You can stand out, and you can protect yourself. Learn from the mistakes of others in this article. These are the most common online job search mistakes we see:

1. Posting your resume without worrying about protecting your privacy.
   
   If you have a job, you could lose it if your boss finds your resume at a job site. Even if you don't have a job, consider identity theft as a serious risk.

Job-Hunt.org’s Tapping the Hidden Job Market

An estimated 75% to 85% of all available jobs are invisible because they are not posted or advertised anywhere. Those invisible jobs are the "hidden job market."

How do you find all those jobs? You "network" to them. And, the beauty of it is that once you've built your network, you never need to hunt for a job again. The jobs will find you. You help the people in your network, and they help you - person-to-person, and personal, not impersonal at all.

There are two basic methods of networking, and you will probably be more comfortable with one method that the other. Using a combination of the two typically brings the best results.

2 Basic Methods of Networking:

1. Push - reaching out to the world- is usually easier for most people to do, and often is the quicker path to a new job (although, not by any means, usually a quick path)! With luck this also leads to long-term friendships and collegial relationships.

You have a network from your days in school, both high school and college. It may take you a while to track people down, but some schools (and most colleges and universities) offer career services and help you put those links back in place.
