“As job seekers, when we start our job hunt, we have no restrictions on what we can or cannot do. However, practically everyone we meet tells us what we have to do. The sad thing is that, because most job seekers don't know any better, we fall for what we hear.” InterviewJob SeekingJob SearchJob InterviewsJobseeking Book:Job Hunting Secrets: Source: Job Hunting Secrets:
“Staffing Firms and Executive Recruiters are responsible for 10% of positions that job hunters find. Employment agencies, “temp” firms, executive recruiters, and other staffing firms fill job openings for a commission, which is usually between 15% to 33% of the annual salary. The employer pays the fee. The remaining 15% of jobs come through online applications and recruiters who are not Executive recruiters. As job seekers, if we complete three online applications a day, it’s easy to fool ourselves into thinking we’re being productive. So here’s my question: Given that “Talking To Other People” yields five times the number of jobs as online applications (75% vs. 15%), and staffing companies yield almost as many opportunities as online applications (10% vs. 15%), don’t we owe it to ourselves to pursue these avenues? If not for ourselves, then maybe for our loved ones who depend on us and our salaries.” InterviewJobseeking Book:Job Hunting Secrets: Source: Job Hunting Secrets:
