Job seeking advice

in job •  6 years ago 

If you are looking for a JOB, this is the 1 piece of advice I would give you.

Many people tell me they have sent out 100+ resumes and haven’t received any interviews. I tell them that’s like playing the lottery and hoping to win. The truth is many resumes go to the rejection pile unread. What you need to do is NETWORK. Talk to 100 people in your network rather than apply for 100 jobs via job boards. Networking is the only way to bypass the bias filters (Overqualified, Employment Gap) in automated systems. The door won’t open automatically, you will have to PUSH your way in!

Pound the pavement, pick up the phone, attend job fairs, meet people. The truth is many individuals are hired due to familiarity rather than actual merit and 85% of all jobs are filled via Networking. As the saying goes, "It’s Not What You Know, But Who you Know." Shake off rejection and keep going. Remember it’s not how many “nos” you get. It's about that one "YES."

So guys do you think what am saying is the right thing or not?
