So far we’ve explored finding career clarity and branding for your career niche. But landing your dream job requires more than just submitting applications on LinkedIn or Indeed... It demands a proactive approach, one that involves strategic networking to forge meaningful connections and open doors to endless possibilities. This is where the power of intentional networking comes into play. By taking deliberate and purposeful action, you can actively shape your career trajectory. With the right strategies in place, intentional networking can unlock doors to hidden job opportunities, offer valuable insights, and even shape your professional identity. --- Referrals will always be your strongest path to finding your dream employer in the hidden job market, which is why I always recommend my clients focus most of their efforts on networking. When someone refers you to a job, they likely have inside knowledge about the company or position. They can provide you with valuable information about the organization's culture, work environment, and hiring process. This insight can help you tailor your application and interview strategy, increasing your chances of success. Hiring managers tend to trust referrals from employees or trusted contacts because they come with a certain level of credibility. When someone vouches for your skills and qualifications, it can significantly boost your chances of getting noticed and considered for the job. Since referrals often lead to direct connections with hiring managers, you have a higher chance of standing out and being selected for an interview. Even if a referral doesn’t materialize into a job opportunity, building relationships can lead to other future job openings or valuable connections within your industry. ---- Are you feeling overwhelmed and unsure what your next steps could be? Are you wondering if investing in professional services would be worthwhile? Are you confused about how a career coach might help you? For more than 20 years I have focused my work helping people move forward into new careers, new jobs, new roles, and new businesses.

There is a lot of advice out there on how to land a job. But there are only 2 ways. 1. You ask for a job. 2. Someone gives you a job For each of these, there are different levers you can pull. For option 1, there are 3 ways you can do this: 1. Applications 2. Networking 3. Professional Brand For option 2, there are 2 ways this happens: 1. From your Network 2. From your Professional Brand As you can see, focusing on networking and building your professional brand allows you to use both options. 90% of people only focus on applications, which is the least effective and doesn't lead to anyone ever reaching out to you about a job. Build your professional network and building your professional brand have a positive, long lasting, and compounding effect on your career. --- ➡️ 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀?

It Only Takes One Good Lead to End Up in Your Next Job In the ever-evolving job market, many professionals find themselves on the hunt for new opportunities. While it might seem daunting, the truth is that it often only takes one good lead to transform your career path. Here’s how a single connection can make all the difference. The Power of Networking Consider Sarah, a marketing professional feeling stagnant in her current role. One day, she attends a local industry event where she strikes up a conversation with an old colleague. They reminisce about past projects and share updates on their careers. Little did Sarah know, this casual chat would lead to a major opportunity. The Unexpected Opportunity A week later, Sarah receives a message from her colleague. They mention an opening at their company—an innovative startup looking for someone with Sarah’s skill set. Excited but apprehensive, Sarah submits her resume, unsure of the outcome. The Interview Process To her surprise, Sarah is invited for an interview. Thanks to her previous connection, she is able to prepare strategically, focusing on insights from their conversation that align with the company’s values. During the interview, her passion and relevant experience shine through, impressing the hiring team. The Job Offer A few days later, Sarah receives a job offer! What started as a simple networking event turned into a life-changing opportunity. She realizes that if she hadn’t engaged in that conversation, she might still be feeling stuck in her old role. Conclusion Sarah’s story illustrates a vital lesson: the job search doesn’t always have to be overwhelming. Sometimes, all it takes is one good lead—one conversation, one connection to open doors to new possibilities. So, get out there, network, and stay open to the unexpected. You never know when a simple chat could lead you to your next job!

🌟 Stop the madness and help someone today! 🌟 I get a ton of emails and see a ton of posts that go with some form of option A. Option A is terrible. Option A: " I am looking for a new role and I was hoping you could keep an eye out for me. Let me know if you know of anything. It's been 8 months and I am not getting anywhere." Option B: " Hey Anthony, we met at____________. I could use your help. I'm making a career move and I'd love to get 30 minutes of your time next Thursday or Friday. I'd like to catch up, let you know what I have been doing, talk to you about what companies I'd like have a conversation with and see if you can help with any introductions or suggestions. Always happy to see if there is anything I can do for you as well. What works best for you?" Networking for job opportunities can be a game-changer with the right approach. Option A might not be the best strategy as it lacks intentionality. Instead, consider Option B - a more effective way to seek help and support from your network. The people who actually give a damn will spend 30 minutes with you. Those people will help you! By being deliberate and asking for assistance, you can make a significant impact: 🤝 Offer 15 minutes of your time to connect with someone seeking their next role. 📈 Help potentially secure an interview for a candidate. 💼 Benefit the hiring company at zero cost for discussions or hiring. $0.00 to hire a referred candidate is a win, win win! ⭕ Embrace the principle of reciprocity - what goes around, comes around. Let's create a culture of support and collaboration on LinkedIn. Taking a few moments to assist others can make a world of difference. Reach out, make introductions, and be the catalyst that helps someone land their next opportunity. Together, we can make a positive impact through meaningful connections. #Networking #Support #Opportunities #jobsearch

3 harsh truths about the job search ⬇️ The sooner you accept them the faster you’ll be successful. 👉 You need to be proactive Maybe you cringe at the thought of reaching out to your contacts… But you've got to push through the awkwardness and do it anyway. 85% of jobs are filled by networking. Referrals are 4x more likely to be hired. Networking strategically can stratospherically boost your chances of someone seeing your application and landing an offer. 👉 The most experienced candidate doesn’t always get the job offer Experience counts for something, sure. But it’s not enough. You have to get very good at communicating your value and demonstrate how you’re a great culture fit for the company. You have to get the hiring manager on side. You need to be likable. 👉 You will be rejected Unfortunately, it’s part of the process… no matter how qualified you are. You can’t let rejection affect you personally and knock you off track. Ask for feedback from employers and try and take each “no” as a learning experience.  #jobsearch #cgatips #jobsearchstrategy #success
