Continuing from my last email yesterday...
Where I shared about the results from my recent LinkedIn poll.
48% are not getting noticed.
26% are struggling to pitch their value.
13% don't know where to start.
But only 12% are not finding the right roles.
What Does 12% Not Finding the Right Roles Mean?
When 12% say they’re not finding the right roles, it suggests one of two things:
1. Misaligned Opportunities: They’re looking for roles that don’t match their skills, passions, or goals.
2. Visibility Problem: They’re relying on job boards, where many of the best opportunities aren’t even listed.
How This Relates to the Hidden Job Market and Networking
The hidden job market refers to roles that aren’t advertised publicly. These positions are often filled through personal connections, internal referrals, or proactive outreach.
If you’re not finding the right roles, it’s likely because you’re missing out on this market. Most jobs aren’t on LinkedIn or job boards—they’re behind conversations, introductions, and relationships.
Networking fixes this. By connecting with hiring managers, team leads, and other key people:
- You learn about roles before they’re posted.
- You uncover roles that are created specifically for strong candidates.
- You position yourself as a solution to their needs, even if they weren’t actively hiring.
The Shift You Need
Instead of passively scrolling job boards, you need to:
1. Build a Dream Network: Target people in companies and roles you admire.
2. Use Strategic Outreach: Reach out with a personalized, thoughtful approach that opens doors to opportunities.
3. Leverage the Minimum Valuable Pitch: Show decision-makers how you solve their problems.
This isn’t about waiting for the right role to show up—it’s about creating your own opportunities by being proactive.
