We all know that job search can be more exhausting process most of the time. And for today’s professionals who may be looking to advance their career every few years, it can be never ending pain.
It goes something like this:
You’re browsing for new jobs through Naukri, Monster, Indeed or Linkedin. You login to these portal more frequently because you don’t want the ideal job to slip by, just because you weren’t paying attention. When you find an online job posting that seems like a good fit, you apply, sending your resume into a black hole.
Most of the time the job posting which are listed on job portal are not for immediate hiring, its just a preparation for tentative future hiring which may get in place if company gets the expected work load, else the open positions are just kept on HOLD. So mostly after applying to desired jobs, you may or may not hear back & as the time passes you forget about it & start hunting with other companies.
With the above process you might have gotten the job—only to realize after awhile that this isn’t the right job (or career) for you. Start from the top.
It’s overwhelming, exhausting and worst of all: discouraging.
Unfortunately, you’re playing a guessing game, which needs to STOP & do some REALITY CHECK!!
Reality Check:
In India 75% of genuine jobs are not posted online & what ever jobs are posted on job portals are though some job consultancies or third party job agencies and not by direct companies. On other hand 80% of active hiring done by companies are on internal referral basis i.e. candidate referred by their own existing employee.
Looking at the above scenario if you want to increase the possibility of getting hired then GO FOR CONVERSATION RATHER THAN GOING FOR APPLICATION. You can land the perfect job in a fraction of the time with a strong referral from networking.
You’re 10x more likely to get a job through a referral
Referrals are powerful. If you applied for a job online, your odds of getting the job are 1 in 152.
With a referral, your chances increase tenfold. Referred job candidates have a 1 in 16 success rate in landing the job.
Without networking, you’re missing out on 85% of jobs
Referrals are the preferred source for all new hires in today’s job market. Hiring managers rely on the judgement of employees that they know and trust. Getting a referral will not only increase your chances of landing a job, but also will help you find out about jobs you don’t know exist as most of them are not posted online.
If you’re relying solely on job postings to find your dream job, you’re only reaching 20% of possible jobs that you could have. What’s more is that you’ll be competing for that tiny fraction of online jobs with hundreds of online applicants.
By now, you’ve figured out the best way to move your career ahead quickly isn’t by sitting behind your laptop. Referrals and job opportunities are found through conversations with people in your network.
In other words: connecting with the right people in your network can help you land your dream job.
Now the next big step is to lookout for connection who can refer you for your dream job, but making new connections is also a specialize skill which everyone doesn't have. People tend to forget that making professional connections & networking is a strategic process, just getting connected with someone on linkedin & expect he or she will create a strong referral for you, this won't work. To figure out who you need to know, you must first determine where you are attempting to go. This process is called strategic networking. The alternative is unstructured networking that will never produce great results.
