Routes to Market
Faced with the question of how to go about finding
a new job search, particularly if we have not chosen to be in this position, invariably
sends us first of all to press job adverts and agencies – and of course web-based
examples of both. But if we look back at how we have obtained jobs in the past, it will
often have been through people we know or through making speculative approaches to
organisations. In fact it is an established fact that currently 60% or more of
people’s next jobs come through either networking or speculative approach, rather
than adverts/agencies. Furthermore, the older/more experienced/more senior we are, the
balance moves even more towards networking, for obvious reasons. You may care to note,
however, that there are two functional areas, secretarial/administrative and IT technical,
where this is not true and adverts/agencies/internet score highest.
