Ok, hopefully you have read Tip 1 and you have done your “inner-cise”. The next thing you need to do is brain-storm for logical options and narrow down possible job choices. Make a list of employers who offer the job you are looking for. Take a look at their departments for possible positions. If you don’t see your “ideal-job” posted don’t worry. It’s ok. You know what you want. You will be able to identify the appropriate position.
Like I have said in previous posts: 80% of jobs are filled by networking. I can’t stress that enough. If you look online and don’t see a job posted for a company that you are interested in that does not mean the job you are looking for at this company does not exist. It just means maybe it is not an urgent need for the company at this time or maybe they don’t even post their jobs. Lots of companies do not post all or any of their jobs. They don’t need to. 80% of jobs are filled through networking they don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars posting a job to job boards. A good career coach can help you network in today's environment.
Don’t take that company off of your “wish list” of employers if it is a logical fit. Do “homework” on the company. A lot of time when you are doing your “homework” can reveal possible opportunities to present yourself. Don’t sit there and think “I can’t, they don’t have any jobs”. Think “How can I get a job there?” Change the way you look at it and approach it.
