When looking for job vacancies in singapore people typically contact a few recruiters and also search for openings on job sites. There is nothing wrong with this and recruitersjob sites should be part of your efforts to find jobs. However Carlos Correa Jersey , you should also look beyond these job search methods and try to get in touch with people in your target companies directly. This can be done by using your existing networkcontacts and also by adding new people to your network. There are a number of things you can gain by doing this, such as:
* Making others aware of your job search and what you are looking for * Getting valuable information about the industries and companies you are interested in * Finding out about jobs which might not have been advertised yet andor jobs for which companies have not been able to find suitable candidates for a while, through jobs sites and recruiters


So let’s go through a few questions to help explain this in more detail….


What happens when a company needs to hire someone for a particular job opening?


For an employer, using recruiters andor job boards to find suitable candidates is not always the ideal option. They need to pay a fee to use these mediums, might need to go through a ton of resumescandidates and there is more uncertainty about the quality of candidates.


So the logical thing for the employerhiring manager to do is to first (or simultaneously) look inside the company for suitable people to fill the post. They will also ask their trusted network of co-workers Carlos Beltran Jersey , relatives, friends and other contacts for referrals (of suitable people they know andor have worked with previously). In this way, they can avoid paying recruitersjob sites, deal with fewer candidates and might also have more confidence in the quality of people referred by their trusted network.


What can you do to take advantage of this, during your search for job opportunities?


You need be in touch with and get yourself on the radar screen of enough people Brian McCann Jersey , in an effort to either directly meet a hiring manager looking to fill a job, or alternatively be referred to such a hiring manager.


How do you go about meeting people and expanding your network?


1) Start by using your existing contactsnetwork. This includes family, friends, professional contacts, fellow alumni and so on. Make a list of all such people Brad Peacock Jersey , along with their contact details. Include all your contacts and not just those people who have relevant experience, or hold powerful positions. Remember, it’s less about ‘who you know’ and more about ‘who they know’ (for example, an aunt who has never been in the corporate world, might go for an evening walk with the wife of a senior professional in your target company). Such lists typically include anywhere from 50 to 250 people.


Once you have a decent number in the list Anthony Gose Jersey , start getting in touch with people on the list. Inform them of your plans to find jobs in Singapore, ask for adviceinformation, ask for referrals and also for any job leads.


2) Then find and contact people who you don’t already know. The best way to do this quickly is through online networking and the best tool for online networking is LinkedIn. You can use LinkedIn to find people in your target industrycompanies and request them to spare 15-20 minutes (via phone or in-person), to provide you with some advice, job leads and referrals. (I will be writing another article shortly Andy Pettitte Jersey , with details on how exactly to usenavigate LinkedIn).


You can also events, such as seminars, conferences, industry association meetings, etc. to meet Alex Bregman Jersey , greet and network with relevant people.


Will people you contact during your job search, actually respond to your requests?


Many will not. However, most of my clients are pleasantly surprised by the large number of people who do. You will get many positive responses because:


* People like to feel importantrespected and give advice to others * Many people genuinely want to help others * People might relate to your situation, since they have been through a job search themselves * Other people want to expand their own network and learn new things as well and think you might be a good contact for such purposes * The person might be looking for someone with your background for a job they need to fill


What should you say when you contact people, to get help for finding jobs?


It is usually easier to contact people who you know well and you will know the best way to approach each person. Therefore I will not focus on contacting such people and will provide tips for contacting people who you don’t know well or don’t know at all.
