I am going to show you that it is simply NOT TRUE.
How To Find Hidden Jobs That No-One Else Knows About

You can find hidden jobs that no one knows about, by which I mean unadvertised or unannounced jobs using my expert tips and information below.

If you understand the recruitment process you can use it to your own advantage.
Although I am writing mainly about mainstream jobs, in other words second or third levels of seniority where people already have some experience in the workplace, teenagers can also follow this approach to find jobs for teens, part time and summer jobs.
The 4 Key Steps
1: Identify companies that are of interest to you:
Look at current advertised jobs that interest you, and then think of some other companies that might offer similar work.
You should start by focusing on organizations that operate in your industry sector.
You could also try to find out about trends in the labor market, so that you can focus on growth areas or companies undergoing expansion, or other change, this will help you to find hidden jobs.
Remember this: All change can produce opportunities.
Directories such as Dun & Bradstreet are helpful, but you can't beat the Internet to help you find hidden jobs. Companies often advertise current positions or have careers information on their websites. You can use Internet search engines to find the companies that interest you; try Googling the job title you're interested in, not to apply for the job but to be sure you completely understand what the job requirements are.
2: Make a short-list of organizations you are interested in
By now you have a long list of industries or companies that are possible employers. The next step is to select the companies that best match your interests, skills and values, and make a short-list of target companies. Focusing on a few companies is more effective than targeting too many, as you can prepare more comprehensively.
How to make a short-list
- Compare your interests, skills and values with the information you've collected about each industry or company.
- Consider additional factors like location and travel, work hours and company culture.
- Consider which factors are most important and least important to you, e.g. salary level, opportunity for promotion, training, assignment overseas.
- Make an informed decision about which companies best match your needs and priorities.
- Make a short-list of these target companies.
3: Additional research to find hidden jobs.
Now that you've identified your target companies, the next step is to do some more detailed research. For example:
- What does the company do and how is it structured?
- How big is it?
- What are its future prospects? Is it tendering for major contracts or attracting new clients?
- Does it offer a training & development programme?
4: Approach your target companies
Once you've completed this research, you're ready to approach your target companies about applying for your dream job. I recommend you read: telephone power to find out how to use the telephone for job openings.
How To Find Hidden Jobs: Key Tactics
1. Decide What You Want: Starting with the ultimate objective in mind we create a plan of action that propels you forward towards your goal.
2. What Do You Say About Yourself? If you have done something that you're proud of in your job or career then there is no need for bragging; just tell it like it is.
3. Networking To Get Others Working For You: Learn how to discover whether someone you know, knows someone else that needs your skills.
4. Write Your CV or Resume: CVs and Resumés are great tools but can work against you. Learn why and when NOT to send a Resumé. Keep it back at this stage. You'll see why.
5. Should You Apply by Letter? Why this has absolutely no place in my underground tactics. But I'll show you one letter you may use.
6. Working the Market Place: Let everyone else be a busy fool. You will use your time according to the payback you can expect. Up to 60% of jobs are never advertised, but they DO EXIST.
7. Polish Interview Winning Tactics: Certain types of questions will always crop up in job interviews. I'll give you the answers you need.
Your Aim...
Your aim is to meet people who can influence your thinking; people who can offer constructive advice on the type of job or career you are considering. I will show you EXACTLY HOW to do that.
Networking with known and new contacts creates a unique opportunity to practice your marketing message. It also allows you to get briefed on particular areas of interest and in doing so to gain a deeper understanding of the relevant issues. I tell you EXACTLY WHAT to say when you meet influential people who may turn out to be prospective employers.
Now You Have Two Options
1. Work through the contacts on your network list so you can find or create a link with the firm that you are interested in, then arrange to talk with your personal contact who will be able to provide information and advice, NOT offer you a job; tell you whether it would be fruitful to pursue the company; and put you in contact with a decision-maker. Again you arrange to meet but don’t expect or ask for anything other than advice. The secret to finding unadvertised jobs is to tread very carefully. Don't put anyone on the spot so that they think you are expecting THEM to find you a job!!
If there is the possibility of a job, and they like what they see and hear from you, then the meeting just may become an “interview” but don’t push it.

If the networking approach doesn’t produce the contacts or the unadvertised jobs you need, and there’s no other way around it, you could put together a carefully crafted target letter as you will find explained in cover letter examples; take a look at these sample cover letters.
What you must be aware of is that not all jobs get advertised, but they all start somewhere – if only in the mind of a manager who has a problem that needs a solution.
